I have no clue if they're fertilized, guess I just have to wait and see. Problem is I can't do anything with the ooths because she stuck them right in the door opening, so if I open the cage I'll tear them apart. Last night I misted the heck out of the cage sides so she could drink (wouldn't...

How much quicker are they going to hatch if they've been in the warm house all this time? I don't know how, but she's still hanging on. She moved across the cage and is leaning against the side, there's really nothing I can do for her at this point right? I'm sure she still won't eat anything.

I'm guessing it's normal for them to stop eating when they're at the end? She hasn't moved since I checked her earlier, I misted some water in there and she was moving a little bit as the water hit her. I don't like thinking she's just in there slowly fading away, I wish it would just happen...

Thought I'd bump this up for a bit of an update. She ended up laying part of another ooth a month later along with the first (didn't know they could do that). It's been getting increasingly hard to get her to eat, and lately she just stopped altogether. I've been trying every other night or...

I have a fridge in the basement, maybe I'll give that a shot. I'm worried because I think she layed it right on the opening on the cage I have her in, so if I try to open it I think it's going to do some harm. I didn't look at closely though, so maybe I can make it work. That's kind of what I...

Good, then I was right to keep her this long I guess. I actually found her on my car when I drove to pick up dinner one night, I don't know how long she was on there but I stuck her in a box and brought her home. I mean at the time the days were fairly warm, but the nights were chilly and...

I live in PA and found a Chinese mantis about a month ago, right around the time it was starting to get pretty cold at night. I decided to keep it for awhile, thinking that it was too cold for them at night after reading what sort of temperatures they like. I'm not sure where they go at night...
