[QUOTE="ladyarcana55, post: 314869, member: 10706"] That's the worse part of it for me, I [B]did[/B] do a lot of research. I was going to do more before actually getting a mantis before we found out our friend had some he was willing to give me. He had been keeping mantids for a long time, years, so we figured he knew what to do. He's more my husband's friend so my husband was pushing me to go more with his advice. I knew that there were things he was telling me that didn't jive with my research, but at the time he has more experience than I. He is currently working hard to take care of this one mantis that had severely mismolted and can't even hold its prey. I thought that if he knew what to do for that, he probably does know what he's doing. For the most part he does, but he does need to learn more about them. But I have to say, there is a part of me that thinks I should get a few more from him if only to give the mantids a better home. I feel very bad for thinking that but considering some of the things I've learned and some of the things he's said...I worry about them. [/QUOTE]
