Had a heck of a time last night transfering them from a cup to a tank :o I saw some coming out of the ooth this am, made the other ones kinda angry, lol. Just misting them, added some fruit flies too. They aren't eating anything, the flies or eachother, they are doing a defensive pose at...

Chinese ooth laid on 11/11/08 hatched last night. Only abot 50+ in the cup, might still be hatching. They are SO CUTE! What do I do now? When should I fed them first? Separate them or keep them together?

My mom thinks it's creepy, but she asks how they are doing, my kids (I have 3) are jealous of time I spend "staring" at the bugs, but they named them. My 3 year old helps me catch feeder bugs outside. Thier friends think it's cool and my husband couldn't care less if they exist. They are kinda...

Just a follow up... He never did mate with her. She lost all of her outer wings and then after a while she stopped eating, probably old age and she died. He mated with a female I caught outside and she laid 3 ooths. I put 2 outside and kept one. She died naturally from old age. It's been about...

Know what, he never does eat the large crickets or grasshoppers...I will give him smaller food. Thank you. He did try to "mount" the female today but never got up high enough, she just kinda dragged him around, lol.

Yes he is. They have been seperate for 2 days, and she did eat some crickets. I just put them together again to see what happens. I heard that if a male survives a mating he can mate with another female, that's why I'm trying with a new female. Do the males need time to "recuperate" after...

I feed all of the mantis' ! LOL His only "food" interest is her. In his cage there are 3 large crickets, 2 large grasshoppers, and a butterfly that he actually ate yesterday. His is the one cage that I refill the least with bugs cause they aren' eaten. If the bug crosses his path, he goes...

I finally found 2 female chinese Mantis. I put one in with my male and they mated and he survived. After a few days I put the other female in and all he does is chase her and eat her wings. He's eaten so much of ther wings she cannot fly. He doesn't seem to be interested in mating with her at...

Any Chinese Ooths left? Do you ship to US?

Hello Mantid Forum :) . I've been reading the old posts all summer while raising a 3rd generation of Chinese nymphs from a wild caught pregnant female. She died after laying her Ooth and is now a great great gramma. All of the nymphs I kept turned out to be male (5 of them) so I let 4 go...
