[QUOTE="MantisTrainer, post: 350425, member: 13575"] I posted about this a little while back but didn't get any replies, that was probably my fault for asking so many questions so I will be brief. 1. I have a wild-found [I]Mantis religiosa [/I]ootheca in the fridge that I collected in October, I plan to hatch it around April or May. currently, the only care I am providing it with is a slightly moist paper towel to keep the eggs hydrated. Is there any additional care I should provide it with while it is in the fridge? 2. If the ootheca hatches, I plan to keep one or more but I've heard that this species is prone to dieoffs and can be difficult to care for as nymphs. I am relatively new to this hobby and this will be my second time raising mantids from hatchlings(my first mantids are a couple of [I]Tenodera sinensis[/I] which probably wasn't the best option for a first-timer). Is there anything specific I can do to prevent any possible dieoffs or, in general, successfully raise this species? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
