No French :( Only English and Swedish :) I am aware of what they eat. It is phloem sap although wanted to know how people would feed them. I mean these http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/orn/thorn_bug.htm Sorry for not making myself that clear... Thanks for the help Timor

Well I just wanted to know if anyone keeps any treehoppers? If so how do you feed them? Also seeing as I am all the way in England if anyone knows a place where they live would anyone be willing to collect and send some over? I would off course pay for P&P and something for catching some :)...

For the food you could use flies like FF when young then advance to house flies, greenbottles, then finally bluebottles. I highly doubt they will eat the plants. Hope it helps :) Timor

I am aware that this is a american website although if anyone has any cool inverts for sale in the UK then please just send me a PM. I am also looking for indian mudskippers. If you have any then please just send me a PM and I will reply ASAP whether or not I would like to have them. Thanks Timor

I just came home form school now and I noticed one has molted :) Well... I think he/she has because it is much larger than the others although there is no trace of anything. Do you always find some evidence of a molt? I do really love them so much!!! Thanks for the comments Timor

Well just thought I would share. :)

Ok.

Ok thanks for the replies. I will be picking up a small thermometer and a humidity gauge when I can and I will probably end up having a light with a weak heat mat aswell. How many W would a weak heat mat have? I think that a combination would be best because then there is a drop in temperature...

Well seeing as I am getting Ameles Heldreichi which are quite rare there isn't that much information about them. :( But would a combination be any good? Thanks Timor

Well would 21 degrees be ok for mantids during the night though or should I have a small/weak heat mat and a light bulb? Which would be best? Thanks Timor

I am planning on buying some plants, are there any good places where you can buy them in England (either online or near Lincolnshire) I found this UK website http://www.dartfrog.co.uk/plants.html although delivery might cost abit. Is this any good?

I am keeping Ameles Heldreichi. Although tomorrow I am going to an event where there will be mantids for sale and if I find one I like then I will most likely purchase it. It gets about 21ºC during night in my room. I was thinking of possibly getting a chinese mantis or something which is quite...

Just curious about what heating to use. I wouldn't want a light seeing as the enclosure/s are going to be in my room so I would need to turn off during night. I know there are heat mats but is there anything better? I found this link...

Very nice Rick. I really like it and I think it looks great. Thanks for showing your housing. Timor

I love the pothos. Will you still be able to have plants if you use heat mats? Or what other ways of heating are there?

Just curious whether you can use real plants? I think they look much more natural than the fake ones.

Philin Yuma the Ameles Heldreichi are a rare species and not many people have them. I might do what most people have said and just have a melanogaster fruit fly culture like most people say would be best. Thanks everyone Timor

I might just breed the turkistan roaches and feed all the nymphs and then sell away any of them which are too big or I don't need. Does this sound good? Thanks Timor

Hello, I would like to get some roaches to feed the Ameles Heldreichi I am getting and was curious if there were any roaches smaller than turkistan seeing as the Ameles are small and I am getting oothecas. Thanks Timor

Lol! Not really planning on a doll house :P I just meant an enclosure. I'm not sure about the lazy susan thing seeing as it is going to be rectangular so wouldn't really work. I don't think that the doors will be such a big problem. Thanks for all replies Timor
