make sure the traps dont use any type of pesticide to lure or any chemical because you DONT want to feed them that. you can order FFs online at mantisplace.com also. dont knwo if she can ship out immediatley.

sorry i tried to reply thru my blackberry and it didnt work. Chief Tom...you have to start your own topic so you can get help i am new so i dont know what to tell you. i got my ff' from a reptile shop that ordered them for me and had some in when i called them.

ok. i took the uneatten crickets out. i will stick with ff's a bit longer cause i dont know if my pet store can order house flys. i think the one mantis enjoyed the crickets tho! is it weird that one seems like it wants OUT of its enclosure? it was the last one hatched and a bit smaller than...

ok, thanks to you all, my nymphs are about an inch long. i think they molted about 3-4 times already. (not sure)i havent seen them molt in a while now. i just bought them pin head crickets. one jumped on them, the other two seem to be hiding out from them. and i see one looks like it is wanting...

chinese. yes. thanks Rick. when i do let them free in June, where should i put them. in what type of bush? anywhere specific? thanks for all your help guys..

my nymphs have molted about three times now and i am worried they might want to eat one another. i am still giving small fruit flys(Melanagaster), but bought the larger ones (Hydei). i have a large container and wondering if i should separate them.i feed them a bunch every day and mist also. i...

do i mist the nymphs themselves or just the container.?? they are doing well and eatting lots of ff's. they already shed their skin as i thought one died when i saw the whole skin on the floor! i didnt know i would see that! one is smaller than the other two. i want to do the right thing with...

do you think they will be large enough by june to eat house flys? i dont know how fast they grow, thanks

i only have three that hatched :( i think the container is fine until june when it gets warm here and i will release. until then i mist container and ooth (i wont give up on it) and feed fflys.what is the next larger feeder bug. pin head crickets?

when do i separate the nymphs? when do i start feeding something other than fruit flys?

question. i have three nymphs in the same container, they are eatting like crazy and i see them already getting a bit larger. when do i separate them if at all? will they eat each other?

hmm that would be about june i would think. thanks

yes the female was found in november and died in february. she did lay one more ooth two weeks after this one which probably isnt fertile but i will care for it like it is. how many is there supposed to hatch out of chinese ooth? i only got two. its ok as long as they survive. i will do my best...
