[QUOTE="Predatorhousepet, post: 333148, member: 10650"] Well, whatever the problem was with her eyes she passed on today. I fed her this morning and she seemed fine, same amount of energy and enthusiasm while eating. A couple hours later I saw her hanging sideways on the piece of bark but just now (about 10 hours after I last checked) I found her legs up on her back again, no response, she was really gone this time. Maybe she fell again but it was too much for her to come back from, idk. She made it just over 2 weeks with the eye condition and hadn't gotten any worse over the last week (that I could tell, anyway) but whatever the cause it was bad enough that it eventually killed her. Hopefully what she went thru will help some other mantis owner in the future, if anything to know when to put them down. I probably should have done it when I first decided I was going to but I wanted to give her a chance. She was acting somewhat normal again and after finding out she still had some vision left, I didn't want to end her life just for being partially blind. She was about 6 weeks into adulthood so she did live most of her lifespan at least. [/QUOTE]
