what type of eucalyptus is best for these? there is over 500 different types of this plant and i am sure some of them are not good for them... also what other greens can they eat apart from bramble and oak..


can you tell i am finding it hard this time for year to get a good supply of food for them

your best bet really is to stick to bramble and oak as both are easy to fin and bramble u should be able to find everywhere.

eucalyptus gunnii is the most widely used .
but you cant go far wrong with bramble,
its there all year round unlike oak, hawthorn, raspberry etc.
mine thrive on bramble , & when they get bigger they eat like gannets
its hard to keep up with their appetite when it comes to supplying eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is quite a common plant in this country. Popular in gardens. Try any eucalyptus you can find chances are it will be Eucalyptus gunni you can recognise it beacuse of its peeling bark at this time of year. The sticks will also eat bramble and some currant. I mix several food plants togeather, see what they like!
