Thankies! We've been working with polymer for awhile now but always appreciate more info! ♡ 👽

At times I tend to come up with extremely complex solutions for such simple situations lol Doh... play sand... Thank you! ♡ We are working on the skulls right now. My daughter says if anyone has any requests for your buggy friends homes to let her know. She uses polymer clay that needs to be...

My daughter wants to put a tiny human skull in there too and fake succulents - not the pokey ones. She's into art so I guess our mantis homes have to be artistic also lol 🙃 Never argue with a 10 yr old going on 30 👽

MantisGirl13 - We were going to mix it with the coconut fiber substrate. Sometimes I'm not sure how these adorable little aliens survive at all outside! :P they're from Africa so we were trying to do environments similar to the place of origin? Was thinking those guys/girls would enjoy...

Hi! We are looking for a taller enclosure for these guys. Read they prefer that and can live communally if fed well and large area with hidie spaces. I believe we need a light also, looking at an exo terra tall terrium but my daughter reallly really wants to put light colored sand in, "so she...

My African Twig fell in the middle of the night. :( Looks like he landed on a real touch super soft flower then his coconut substrate. He is our only twig so hoping he still makes it. 😭 So far all our ghosts are coming through molts with flying colors! After I posted about the 1st one molting...

Kind of nervous can we wait 48 hours lol? Or are they hungry after all that hard work?

Also from MI! Must be something insectious in the water here making us bug out for these little aliens! Nice to meet you! -Overprotective Hive Mother

For pupae we aren't ready to hatch we use this. Working fine so far. Probably better prices but we got it on a prime day sale. Cooluli Mini Fridge

Moths please lol! My mantis just loves them! Trying to find them now actually. - Overprotective Hive Mother

Does anyone know where one could purchase feeder moths, possibly to start my own moth colony? Our oldest mantis, locally found MI, is getting very slow. She loves, loves loves moths. They are hard to find now. We have fruitflies and houseflies for our babies but she needs larger prey. Sent my...

Hello I'm Celayna, you can call me Cel. Our family is new to the community/hobby. Our daughter has fallen head over heels in love with mantids *coughs* she might have possibly spread this infectious love to me as well *coughs* We have only kept local species until coming across Peter Clausen...
