[QUOTE="5eyesUK, post: 328049, member: 11213"] Hi, so I am very much a newbie, only recently introduced myself here with my new gastrica. Shes doing very well, had 1 molt since with me. I mustve caught the bug because Im quite obscessed with her and I just purchased my 2nd mantis, this time a spiny flower. 4th instar. Oh what a little cutie pie!!! I wanted to ask you guys whether its stressful for mantids (being cannibalistic) if they see each other through the clear walls of their enclosures??? Esp. the smaller ones, ie my gastrica is about 5 times the size of my new spiny flower. They do need to be nearby though as its a heated "cupboard" in my otherwise colder house (UK) If yes, would a simple solution be to provide some coverage for them, ie Im about to put a plastic flower in the spiny flowers enclosure. Or do you put screens between vivs? Or its not really an issue? Thanks 😊 [/QUOTE]
