beside having someone else look after your mantis. what else do you do to keep your mantis alive when you are away for vacation? I am planning on an oversea vacation. It will take about 2 to 2.5 weeks. I wonder if I can still keep my mantis alive while I am away. Maybe I can leave enough blue...

The shop is called exo-factory from Poland on eBay. How can business like that survived.

I have been searching for blue mantis for a while. nobody sell it at UK at the moment. then I found someone sell it from poland. It was an impulsive purchase. I didn't check how bad that shop is. It only has 87% positive feedback ( the lowest I have seen on ebay). The seller lie about using...

What I feed her now is D.hydei. That’s the fruit fly I meant. Cause sellers call it flightless fruit flies.

I thought mantis have to eat flying insects or flying insect is the best option for them. Can they live well without flying insect? 

 She didn’t eat much flies, even now. I thought she may lost interest. But now I start to think she is not as good on catching fruit flies as before. When I was watching her, she had fail to catch the fruit fly 3 to 4 times already. Now I tried to keep her at smaller enclosure with more flies...

Thank you. I have a lot fruit flies left. Do you think if my mantis will eat them still? I wonder if I should keep them or throw them away.
