[QUOTE="izbiggs, post: 304246, member: 9691"] It sounds like a digestive problem, or an infection of sorts. It could possibly be a bad feeder, but that seems extremely unlikely. It could also be constipation, which actually happened to a mantis of mine. The possibility of mold is out there, as well as the possibility of a bacterial infection, which seems the most likely to me. You can rarely do anything about those. It's often hard to tell the cause of death of a mantid you've been taking good care of, and it sounds like it was receiving good care. I would say bacterial infection or maybe an internal wound had something to do with it, and both of those things are out of your control. I'm sorry for your loss. [/QUOTE]
