orderd a male and female budwing , the male arrived fine but female moulted in transit and died of mismoulting so he replaced me with a new one a couple of days later ! healthy looking and a recomended breeder in the uk ! will buy from again soon Neil

one of my nymphs had a busted pincer and it still managed to catch food with one ( it batted its meal with the other one ) . as for the bionic legs , i wouldnt do that yet ( as its still a nymph and they will contrict its shed ) FieroRumor's was an adult when it mismoulted ! Neil

Thanks Julian :roll: lol . mine are in my room somewhere .. i made sure none got past my door , they mostly went under my bed , but i can crawl around quite happily under there myself so what im doing is every so often is moving everything from under there and going hunting , i seem to find...

it still uses it , the leg itself is not bent . it just drags a lil bit ! you know the knee area of the front leg where the leg bends in half. it looks like it got bent a little too much, then dried and so its stuck in that position as i'm guessing it didn't stretch it properly when it was...

BUT NOT CARROTS !!!! NEVER NEVER USE CARROTS ! as they contain a natural pestacide which is obviously bad ! i used to feed mine leafy greens till the made my mantis sick . Neil
