[QUOTE="edenmantis, post: 121781, member: 3618"] Hello, it once came to my mind that my "ill" mantids could be suffering from bacterial infection and that I might try antibiotics. But I gave up this idea as indeed, 1-There was no evidence that the cause of the disease was bacterial infection 2- Even so, antibiotics given to humains or other animals are NOT supposed to work on insects and they may even be harmful. When an antibiotic is prescribed by a vet to cure a dog for instance, the dose and the duration of the treatment are established according to very strict therapeutic medical protocoles, depending on the nature of the germ, the weight of the animal and the degree of infection. I don't know whether there [U]are[/U] antibiotics for insects available on the market, although I heard that companies providing crickets, locusts and other insects as pet food do use antibiotics to prevent infections from spreading through their stock (the information has yet to be checked and confirmed).
