I'm guessing something else was the cause, because I lost another one today. Also suddenly got diarrhea, but, this one had only eaten bean beetles and flies.  I'm sort of wondering if maybe they need more light or something. I've had them for 4 months and it's weird to go from everybody just...

Yeah, I definitely won't risk it again. The breeder I got him from recommended crickets for those and the African Twigs.  I had doubts though and shouldn't have done it. I bought 6 mantids as my first ones and all of them are still alive including the orchids- all but this one that I was dumb...

He was totally fine three days ago, I had him out for awhile during work and he was just his chipper self. I fed him his very first cricket because I didn't feel like messing with the bean beetle culture. Work has been nuts and I've been working way too many hours. He was chubby and healthy and...

I'm located in the Southeastern USA. I recently ordered my first mantids- 2 orchids, 2 Popa spurca, and a ghost; they should arrive next week.  I'm new to mantids, but, not new to invertebrates. I have around 30 tarantulas- rookie numbers really, but, thought I would branch into mantids. I...
