[QUOTE="FeistyMcGrudle, post: 326706, member: 11169"] Thanks for the feedback MantisGirl13! I ordered blue bottle spikes, but I was unaware just how long they would take to pupate (been 6 days now...definitely buying pupae next time around). I went to the local pet store and bought the smallest crickets I could find and I have been basically hand feeding them and watching the entire process so the crickets don't bite back. I had just noticed your reply last night, but I have separated all the mantises since reading it. Over the weekend I was lucky enough to be able to stop what looked like an attack from one of the females--the male backed himself into a corner and was threat displaying while the female was just marching right over to him looking for a meal. I was thinking that maybe she was just really hungry (this was before I bought the crickets) and thought Dr. Toboggan looked tasty, but I don't want to take any chances. I also am no longer shooting for such high RH--one website said 60-90% is fine, whereas almost every other source says 40-70%. Again, thank you so much for the feedback!
