https://imgur.com/a/eZiyc Update to their growth! I didn't want to make a new topic until they are at adult sizes so this will suffice C: 

@Connor @Ocelotbren Thank you so much! And unfortunately she's not in my care anymore  :(  but if she happened to lay an ooth we will see later on ^^  

They have grown quite a bit :)   I haven't been around since life is pretty wild lol My babies have grown and I already can identify each without troubles Autumn(lightest brown), Shadow (The darkest), and Little One (the smallest) The huge green one was something I found around my yard, I...

I do this thing where I slightly cup my hand around their body and gently touch their "butt" it's fast and easy for them to just cling to me, although they are VERY chill as they are ghosts so I dunno how it'll be for other species

(re-applied review) This guy is pretty great, cares about the little ones that he sends, the 3 ghosts I received from him months ago are still doing well and have grown since then, I highly recommend this breeder  ^_^  

@FluffyMantid Oh yes, gotta take care of the babies ^_^   I'll definitely keep an eye out ' v ' so far I've been getting my supplies from one place, although pricey, but worth it! 

@CosbyArt Saaaame ; v ; even though they give me MAJOR goosebumps, i'll stand near garbage any day :poop:  if it means food in their bellies ^_^ I wish I knew this before x'D I unfortunately kept the old next to the new cultures, didn't think the mites could go through the fine paper :0 LOL...

@FluffyMantid haha that is pure dedication ;) Ahh I wish there was more Canadian breeders hard to find good stuff that doesn't sell crickets :(  

(Didn't think I should post this on feeding tread since it's just me talking about how I got food xD) So I decided to make my own fruit fly culture from my very first one, but over the next 2 weeks I discovered the mites were starting to show up in the new cultures so I just got rid of it...

Ah geez.. reading all these methods make me sad.. I just started the hobby and honestly I don't think I have the heart to kill them, :(   Anyways I just wanted to do a new update on the enclosure ^ ^   Yes, this was Nemo's, I kept it the same but made new upgrades :)  ...

@Ocelotbren They are probably in their 3rd :D  the breeder had them offered when they were L2 but they molted before being shipped but they are still so tiny :0 I just started recently and also started with chinese :)  they are so cute although the ghosts are a lot different, so much fun~ 

@Zeppy44 Bananas huh? I gotta try that :0 and thank you, guess I'll have to get super special honey for the little ones xD

@FluffyMantid Thank you! I am looking forward to their growth :D  

@Zeppy44 lol, now that you mention that, I do believe they are getting tired of fruit flies themselves, I heard you could feed mantids honey I want to see if that's the case

@Zeppy44 Thank you! :)   and yeeeeaaa they are so small! :0 although they aren't skiddish like my Chinese mantids MUCH easier to handle

SOOO my package finally arrived and received 3 beautiful Ghost babies<3 http://imgur.com/a/lqBR9 Here's a link to their photos, ever since my first ever purchase of mantids I was just disappointed from the whole experience, so it was a big deal to try again with a different breeder and...

@FluffyMantid Its alright, better to die in peace than a tiny air tight container s/he came in :(  just hoped it would've pulled through, they are such fragile creatures 

@Digger Don't worry about it :)   and in a way I can understand why someone would say that, insects aren't seen as something as important as another creature that lives longer like a dog, kinda like how we can eat some animals but can't bare to hurt a pet. It was important to you and I'm sorry...

@Zeppy44 thanks ^^

@FluffyMantid Thank you, but unfortunately Nemo joined the others this afternoon :(
