Hi all, My mantid isnt looking too good. Her abdomen has been swelling and its starting seeping a brown type goo. At this point she normally lays a case but it hasnt happened yet. She is beginning to slow down alot and occasionally falls from the top of the enclosure! It seems she doesnt...

Ahhh ok. Thanks! This is the first mantis i have had that reached adulthood so its all a bit new to me! My other had a poor shed which caused its mouth to be disfigured so it couldnt eat :( Thanks for the help and advice! :)

Hmmmm! Ok she has just layed another! Is this usual?! Also how long should i leave until i remove it? (it will be sterile) Thanks!

Thats ok, better that way really! This is only the second mantid i have had and i dont think im quite ready to handle lots of them! :) Yeah its quite a nice colour, she is still going for it now! thats about 5 hours so far i think!

Phew!! Many thanks Scott!! I thought thats what it was initially but i didnt think they would lay them unless they were mated. She is well fed so im expecting it to be large! lol! :rolleyes: Well she hasnt had any contact since she was an L4 so im guessing it will be sterile.

Here is a photo, if you need anymore let me know and i will post them up! Thanks Again, 5ummer5

Hi all, I have just received my fruit fly culture and they are a little smaller than what i was expecting! How big do they grow on average? At the moment it looks like i will need to feed my mantid 20 flies for her to be full! :blink: Is there any other flies i can buy which are bigger...
