    Could one raise a mantis purely through hand feeding?

    Aaron Pauling will have a lot of Red runners available this summer probably. Red runners will live a long time and will breed without much maintenance. https://www.aaronpauling.com/collections/non-climbing-roaches/products/1000-large-rusty-reds
