    Sarah K (PanTerra Pets)

    Received another order of bb flies plus I ordered 3 mesh cubes for my now adult ghosts. I'm sure they're glad to get out of the deli cups. I bought the ghost nymphs from Sarah and Eric back in June and am so delighted all three made it to adulthood. Sarah and Eric are awesome with they're...

    Feeding Nymphs - Quick Question

    I received 3 L2 ghosts last month. They were so tiny I thought the 32 oz deli cups were way too big for them. Sarah K assured me they would be fine. So in their new homes they went with a spritz of water and a sprinkle of fruit flies. @Sarah Kwas right! Didn't take them long at all to start...

    Mantids drinking

    I've noticed mine will stop and clean their feet if they walk through the drops. I also put drops on my finger when I have them out to play. Sometimes they will drink from my finger when I touch the drop to their mouth. Very cool to watch. You should avoid spraying them directly.  Denise

    Traveling with mantids?

    Funny you should ask this question as I recently received 3 ghost nymphs that are currently L3 and I am on vacation. Our car trip was 4 hours. I knew we would be leaving so I kept the cardboard box they were shipped in because it is lined with styrofoam. I placed them in their deli cups along...
