Hi look at my chinese mantid, shes bended unnaturally and i dont know what causes this. She eats well and dont show any signs of some kind of sickness.

Hello thank you for reply i gave him some :) and he was sunbatching all the day he stopped vomiting, maybe its the last phase of dying i dont know but he is standing on the ground still. Tomorrow i will try to give him somethng to eat i tried today if hes interested in eating and he showed...

"In test tube studies garlic has been found to have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal activity." from wikipedia. I know that from one Phd when i asked him "what natural substance can i give my mantid to get rid those bacterial infections?" He named just 3 honey, garlic and propolis. Due...

One of my mantids have those bacterial problems (vomiting) what you think about giving little garlic juice with water to him? I did it once with honey and it helped but my friend dont have honey ;/

And what about second male should he mate with she too ? Propably he's pissed, but she was going to eat him in seconds if i didnt take him away. Maybe i will give second ocasion to have some fun but he need to pay fist cus im her pimp :P :P

Hi I have those, so i keep them in aquariums like 30cmx20cmx40cm for 10cm mantid and it seems ok. What about feeding i give them turkish roaches crickets bees flyes. I rather prefer giving them multiple smaller victim cus of theirs kinda weak raptoral arms. Theirs lifespan is close to one zear...

so i will use one 3 leg with 4 leg :)

I have 4 mantids 2males and 2 females (chinese) and i want to mate them. Whats more one female fell off when moulting and her wings and one leg didnt evolved well, so i cut her wings but he still cant use her leg to properly hang on 4 legs. And one of my males have just half of his back leg...

Do you have any site? Cus i bet you have tons of nice macro pictures which i would love to see:) Great job

Thanks Rick that helped me a lot, so i have Female that's strange i still have subadult female which is same size.

I dont have any clue if it is she or he. I was counting segments but it gives me 6 so it is female but then number of moults didnt match(and size). The last segment looks strange tho. I will do some pictures but mantis is very vivid and my camera(phone) isnt too good. Mantis is like 9cm long.

she dont want to eat ;/ but until now everything was just fine and she still have lots of food in abdomen so she have still some time to get well...

I hope it will but i did same way last moult and only one arm do some progress. Going back to mantis with bended abdomen, she looks like fine now se even ate few fruit flies but now i see one brown-red spot in her cup which is probably vomit ;/ I dont know what i can do now

I gave her some water and misted her cup. I also try to keep her on the ground so her abdomen dont bend so much. I have also another problem, one of my mantids had some problems with her going to L2, her front catching legs get stuck in old skin, i didnt do much, i just w8 for next molt...

when shes upside down, and shes not pooping, but i see sometimes her poo which dont want to fell off

So my mantis dont want to eat flies cus they dont have enought water ? Mantis or fly ? If fly drinks enought water mantid will be more interested in getting her ?

Hi, my mantis went for L5 i suppose (she is like 4cm long now) after 1 day she started to eat and everything looked fine. But now her's abdomen is hanging down, very thin in place of bending and she is constantly moving it(same like doing poo). 2nd issue is food, i feed them still with...
