I have many Chinese L2's. I have been feeding them Hidi till this point and they seem to be happy. At what point will it be necessary to move on to bigger food? What do you recommend. I hate roaches and crickets. Thank you

What a great set up. Mind sharing who your contaners came from???

Got my ff breader speical kit today from Ed's. It came w/ a 4 lb. bag of ED's Super Instant Fruit Fly Media, 3 fruit fly cultures (you can choose from wingless, flightless or curly ?D. melanogaster), 10 - 32 oz. containers, 10 foam plugs, 10 drilled lids, a full 1/2 lb of excelsior and a 1 oz...

I think these are Chinese. Can someone confirm. I have about 300 of them and they are still hatching. http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb21/mo...m/mantis2-1.jpg

sounds like good family fun :)

thank you - I was afraid of that. Just have to wait it out.

I am very new to mantids - can you tell me what I can watch for to let me know that they may be hatching soon?

Hello I am Deanna from Charlotte. I have just purchased 3 mantis eggs. Don't know what type they are but I am looking forward to their hatching. I have never had mantis and while waiting on these to hatch my daughter found one in the yard. A small one - I have put it in a container and with...
