[QUOTE="Mantidfinatic13, post: 343126, member: 12381"] The first thing to consider is the risk - if you are keeping any mantis species communally there is ALWAYS a risk. No matter how much you feed them and how much care you take they may eat each other . If you are willing to take that risk than some things that you can do is add more décor into there enclosure so that there vision of their fellow 'roommates' is obscured. For a mantis even just seeing other mantids in close proximity can cause stress. . The bigger the enclosure the better- try a large heavily planted enclosure however with enough space for them to moult. Unfortunetly i have never got the opportunity to work with ghosts so i do not know about the specific specie but the tips i just gave u are a general rule for all mantids. Hope this helped!! 😉 [/QUOTE]
