Well, i fed them today, and most ate. They seemed pretty hungry:)

Well, i want a full sixty, as i am going to be selling them, and giving some to friends and such. I don't really want them to be eating each other until the sex comes :wink:

Well, i'm a proud owner of my first captive bred mantids:) They hatched sometime yesturday, possibly in the evning, and i was wondering when to give them their first meal? Also, when should i expect them to reach L2?

Good service and packing, and fast replies to PM, plus great price:)

I've never used the freezer, i just tap them to the bottom, then tap them out. It works great(although sometimes some escape:)

Ok, i just made a bit of media out of a refrigerated baked potato, i simple peeled it, mashed it, added a pinch of sugar, and a bit of vinegar till i could just barely smell it, and then mixed it up. The flies are eating it, and hopefully this non smelly alternative will wrok well:) What do you...

Oh thats ok, plus you said medium instead of media:)

Oh, i have those dried potato flakes that you top food with right at home, can i grind those up and moisten them with water and vinegar to prevent mold?

Hey all, i just got a culture that is very near it's end, and was wondering what kinds of medias i can use that can be made at home? Or fruits that i can use. A fast reply would be great as i really want to keep them going. Thnx:)

Hey all, i am going to be getting some mantid ooths soon and was wondering if anyone has ever tried feeding the xtra small phoenix worms to lil nymphs?

Wow, thats long, not very chunky though, very nice mantid though:)

Well, i guess i'm not alone:) I can't wait for my ooths to come:)

Oh, kool:)

That happened to mine, well, it fell, then i euthanized it because the damage was too bad, but it would have died anyways, whenever i left her she rested until i came back and she thought i was gonna eat her or somethin, so i just euthanized her, almost all her legs were screwed up, along with...

Maybe he was to wet? Like i hear when the humidity is to high, they have trouble moulting, and when the humidity is too low, they have trouble moulting. Maybe you misted to much?

I checked them out, i think i'll get the started kit from them, it'll save me time and money in the end:)

The one i had that died this morning was a chinese and she had molted into adult hood last night, it's been extremely hot around here in the last few months :shock:

Hey, i'm a noob just like you, i had one of the chinese i caught outside, but it died this morning during a bad molt, it was at the same stage in life as yours, oh, nice shrimp by the way, what species?

Thats a good point, but i think the black is still better because overall, the shape color and form is so exotic, it stands out anyways:)

What about those springtails? Oh, and i am breeding maelworms, they can come in TINY sizes as babies, i can also feed the new mealies right?
