Welcom to the forum! I got my ooths from Amazon had didn't have a problem. So are you hatching them outside? I kept my Chinese ooths between 70-80. Honestly, I just kept them in the packet on top of my fridge until they hatched XD

They are each in an idividual container. I didn't want to risk it XD Thank you!

Welcome! Sorry you lost so many. Hopefully you can breed the three XD

I haven't been on here in awhile due to personal issues popping up. But I'm back with a new batch of Chinese nymphs. (My last batch didn't make it :( ) 37 of the 52 molted today. They are so big! I'm such a proud mommy :D No one had a bad molt and they are eating me out of house and home...

I saw some carnivorous plant starter packs for sale at Shopko. Do you think you guys think they would live? I would obviously give them a better encloser than what they come in, but would it even be worth it? Would they be DOA, do you think?

I figured that there may be problems, so I put the ants in the fridge so they wouldn't attack. I didn't know about the acid though. Thanks!

Then they shouldn't need much care from you XD But it will be nice to go outside and spot one of them

That's a neat story. Are you keeping the babies outside or bringing them in?

The sooner they eat crickets, the better XD

They are crazy eaters, but it's so fun to watch! XD

Great minds think alike XD You have a great selection of animals! I will definately keep you in mind XD

That's cool! I think we have the best spelling out of the Adrian variations XD

I promised PhilinYuma I would introduce myself XD My name's Adrienne, I'll be turning 19 in May and I'm a nursing student. I currently live in South Dakota where you don't see many if any mantids. I got into mantids my senior year in high school. One typical school day, I head out to go home...

That is an awesome idea! I'll have to do this with my new mantids coming in. Thanks so much!

I have an aquarium without soil. I wanted to keep the cage somewhat open so they could see the food. I'll have to check pinheads out. Where do you get yours from? Thanks!

Great to know! If anything, I can make my boyfriend take care of the flies XD I'll have to do that, thanks!

So they typically don't eat right away? That's good to know, Thanks a bunch!

Thanks XD Actually, my mom is out of town and is swinging by Petco on her way back, so everything is going to work out.

Friut flies it is then! *shivers* If I leave some fruit on the counter, they'll some a flying so I should have soon XD Thanks guys!

I saw a topic similar to this but most of the suggestions are for hand feeding. However, I've tried this several times to no avail. My little Chinese mantids hatched three days ago and they have yet to eat. Does it take them awhile to get hungry? I figured that they would be little eating...
