Eccept for the spring legs. Those I trew away and moved her to a new home to have enough space for her next molt

Good to know, it will grow back. Think she has 2 molts to go. I dont think she feels handicapped with one leg less. she will adapt if her new leg is smaller than her other legs. Hope she will eat good for the energy she needs to gow that leg back. She is still a problematic eater but yesterday...

Welcome👋

My mantis Anainah lost a leg during her last molt. Will her leg grow back with her next molt? It is one of her walking legs. She doen't seem to miss it. She climbs like she have all her legs. I think she is L5 (dont know fore sure, in pets hop they couldn't tell me how she she was when I...

I think that is the reason. they watch you with turning their head like we do and front legs look like arms. Just human like. But feeders must be taken care for too, because that will be the meal for the mantis. I have a few big hissing roaches, but but won't feed them to my mantis. but with...

Look those big eyes. Panther mantids are cute

small grasshoppers,

Thanks, I had to force fed Anainah And she is eating a nice juicy half dubia. Think she likes the white goo in them. I still prefer she hunt her own food but I won't let her starve.

Did Coffee molt? Had he a good molt?

Anainah molted today. Will take a outside pic of her tomorrow. She is lighter brown than before. Hope she will get appetite now for food

I was worried for my first mantis to molt too. Don't worry too much about it, nature will do it's work. Maybe you can watch Coffee molting, but that is up to Coffee when he is ready.

Anainah still eats badly. Her abdomen was very flat, but last night she ate finally again (if not I would force fed her dubia goo today) What could be the reason she doesn't eat much? Was her molt not a good one? her skin looks normal. But could it be something internal that went wrong during...

Good luck with your new job. Think it is nice to have a job where you can be ouside a lot

I have put a few fly pupae in her cup, so Anainah can eat then when they hatch. I hate flies, she eat them for breakfast :P

I think I will call her Anainah

They are bought grasshoppers, I use them instead of crickets, I have some dubias too and soon a bunch of flies. Think se will love the flies. I hate them. I dont use wild prey because of parasites, like you said. I still have bunch of fruitfies, but they are too small now, I let them live...

I have only mantids that I can keep on room temperature, Think slowly fading away is not a bad dead

Nope, she molted somewhere last week. But I have good news: she is finally eating. At this moment of writing she is eating one of the grasshoppers en there is food in her abdomen. The flies will be a snack for her then. Maybe she was scared to eat greater stuff after the fruitflies. I don't...

Good idea, she still havent eaten yet. She just walked beside the grasshopper, unbelievable

That looks weird, 1 eye looks normal, the other black. It is not eyerub. I would like to know this too.
