I have a male adult ghost and a male adult Carolina mantis, and both have barely eaten in the past two weeks since their final molts. They're both skinny. The Carolina mantis nibbled some of a cockroach the other day, but gnawed its shoulder off before dropping it and leaving it alone. Today, a bunch of bluebottle flies hatched in their cages, and neither mantis has eaten any of them (or maybe they've had one or two, but IDK). Is this normal?
The females are eating a lot and looking fat, which of course is to make their ooths. But do males really eat so little? How often do you feed your male adult ghosts/carolinas?
