HI. FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW IVE HATCHED QUITE A FEW MANTID OOTHS. BUT NOW I WANNA SETTLE DOWN AND HAVE A GO AT BREEDING MY 3 FAVOURITES ARE GHOST,NEW ZEALAND & GAMBIAN SPOTTED EYE MANTIDS. BUT THE REASON WHY I DIDNT WANNA HAVE A GO AT BREEDING WAS THE FOOD I DONT MIND THE FLIGHTLESS FRUIT FLIES.ITS JUST THAT OBVIOUSLY WHEN THE MANTIDS GET TO ADULT STAGE THEY ARE GONNA NEED BIGGER FOOD AND I DONT WANNA FEED CRIX. BUT I REALLY ALSO DONT WANT BIG FLIES BUZZING ROUND COS I KEEP MY MANTIDS IN THE BEDROOM. AND IT WOULDNT GO DOWN TOO WELL WITH THE MISSUS.I DONT MIND FEEDING THEM HOUSE FLIES BUT ITS HOW GO ABOUT KEEPING THEM. AND GETTING THEM FOM THE TUB TO THE MANTID ENCLOSURE I KNOW YOU CAN SLOW THEM DOWN BY PUTTING THEM IN THE FRIDGE BUT YOU HAVE TO GET THEM FROM THE TUB TO THE FRIDGE FIRST. ANY HELP ON THIS SUBJECT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED THANKS. (((THIS TOPIC HAS PROB BEEN COVERED MANY TIMES BUT I CANT SEEM TO FIND THE ANSWERS IM LOOKING FOR AND THE TOPIC IS PROB IN THE WRONG FORUM AND WILL BE MOVED BUT THERE YA GO I STARTED IT IN THIS FORUM FIRST COS THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE ONE MOST PPL LOOK AT FIRST CHEERS EVERYONE...))).......WAS THINKING ABOUT BUYING MAGGOTS FROM THE FISHING SHOP BUT WHAT DO I DO WITH THEM AFTER THAT? OR EVEN BUY THE CASTORS WHAT DO I DO WITH THEM PLS..
