Thanks I'll keep an eye on her and I'll know what to do now, I'm not 100% sure how old shes is but no wings so not adult but it's really handy to know and im glad im not the only one with a fussy mantis 🤣

Thanks for this tip, she has now had a successful molt and after a fair bit of persuasion, eaten half a Mario worm today. Will I have to feed her like this from now on or will she go back to hunting locust do you recon?

Hi all My Parablepharis kuhlii has been showing some strange behavior lately, not really moving much and not eating anything for the a little over a week, she just watches the feed walk past 🤷‍♂️ From what I've read on here this could be pre molt behaviour but I'm not sure how long this should...

Yeah that sounds like what she does, that's very interesting I didnt know that mantis did that thanks for the info, I'm just glad it's not me killing her off 🤣

I have a darth Vader mantis which I've had for a couple of weeks now and there a quite a few differences I'm finding between it and my giant african, however there is one thing she does that is particularly odd My wife came home from picking up the kids today and found her face down at the...

Thanks, she has eaten again today, I just put it near ish to her and let her do her thing so all seems good now

I've only got small locust so far as that's what the shop recommended for her, she has had one this morning, so that's a relief, I'll have a look into what other foods I can get hold of locally too

Thanks for the link I hadnt seen those, it is high but I'm having trouble getting it any lower, I've tried dry substrate, added a ton of ventilation holes (160 🤣) and I also tried reducing misting but they got very thirsty when I did that She is female

Hi all I'm new to keeping mantis, I've got 2, a giant African and a Vietnamese ghost Had the african for a few weeks but only got the other this week and I'm wondering if theres a big difference between these in terms of feeding, the african is eating locust with no problem 2 times a week but I...
