[QUOTE="The Wolven, post: 346908, member: 12740"] No, I have not personally had a mantis with an infected wound. The few that have lost limbs have done just fine. It's question I asked mostly out of curiosity, but isn't it our responsibility as keepers to search for these kinds of answers? I just want to be able to actually do something if anything like that happens you know. Despite mantises being delicate, the world feels way too big for there to not be an answer. However, it does seem at the current moment most of what we can do is prevention. Maybe discussing cleaning regiments more, how to properly do them, reducing possible cross contamination between mantises with food items/enclosures, emphasizing enclosure sizes to prevent injuries, etc. all might help.
