I was worried for my first mantis to molt too. Don't worry too much about it, nature will do it's work. Maybe you can watch Coffee molting, but that is up to Coffee when he is ready.

Anainah still eats badly. Her abdomen was very flat, but last night she ate finally again (if not I would force fed her dubia goo today) What could be the reason she doesn't eat much? Was her molt not a good one? her skin looks normal. But could it be something internal that went wrong during...

Good luck with your new job. Think it is nice to have a job where you can be ouside a lot

I have put a few fly pupae in her cup, so Anainah can eat then when they hatch. I hate flies, she eat them for breakfast :P

I think I will call her Anainah

They are bought grasshoppers, I use them instead of crickets, I have some dubias too and soon a bunch of flies. Think se will love the flies. I hate them. I dont use wild prey because of parasites, like you said. I still have bunch of fruitfies, but they are too small now, I let them live...

I have only mantids that I can keep on room temperature, Think slowly fading away is not a bad dead

Nope, she molted somewhere last week. But I have good news: she is finally eating. At this moment of writing she is eating one of the grasshoppers en there is food in her abdomen. The flies will be a snack for her then. Maybe she was scared to eat greater stuff after the fruitflies. I don't...

Good idea, she still havent eaten yet. She just walked beside the grasshopper, unbelievable

That looks weird, 1 eye looks normal, the other black. It is not eyerub. I would like to know this too.

If they close to dying they mostly still like to drink, If he resfuses that, then he is going to mantis heaven, They slowly fade away, that is my experience with my mantids

Tongs looks very big in the mantids eyes, It is better to let them hun prey, What bugs do you give Coffee? Better not giving crickets because they can carry diseases

this girl needs a name, who knows a good fitting name for this mantis?

Oh, my mantis is a she. Then it suprises me, that she eats badly. I am used to female mantids having a good appetite. but I hope she will eat flies.

Budwings are cool. I love them

I mist him every day, he need his fluids Think I should try some flies, they are a snack for him, but better eat some snacks then nothing I ordered some flies. I hope he will eat that

Think his last molt was last week, I had put 2 grasshoppers couple of days with him and he didn't toutch them. Today he ate just a few bites. His abdomen is reallty thin, he should eat them for breakfast. Never had a mantis that is a bad eater

I have an annoying problem. My mantis doesn't eat since his last molt, I force fed it some dubia goo. just now I forced fed him a tiny grasshopper, He started to eat and after a few bites he tossed it. What can I do? I want him hunt him his prey and eat it like a normal mantis does. If he...

A green ghost. They are so beautiful :love:
