[QUOTE="messianicmomof3, post: 70376, member: 2101"] Hi~ I new here and new to keeping mantis...we've had our mantis going on 3 weeks now...we found him outside, he's still a nymph. We fed him everyday a moth or grasshopper, he was a really good eater! About 5 days ago he bagan batting at his food rather than snatching and eating it. I read this is something they do before molting. So I removed the food and after 3 days I thought I might try it again, still he was batting at the food. I began misting the cage more often because I read they needed more moisture to molt. It's been 5 days without food and other than not eating and hanging on the lid of the cage there has been no changes...is this normal? Please help I just don't know is this normal? Thanks Penny in TN Oh he looks like an European Mantis? green and about 2" long no wings, before this he was very curious and active... [/QUOTE]
