Can u over feed?

[Clint]

Just kinda wondering I have a young Asian giant mantis 2 shed and she always seems hungry one day she ate 4 flightless flys I moved up to feeding her hydeas flys because there about 2 times bigger then the last ones I was feeding but she just always seem to want more will she eat tell she pops? Like a gold fish or will she stop when full? Iv just started feeding every other day to be safe and 2-3 at a time any help would be appreciated thanks for your time

What instar are they? If their the size of a Nickle, fruit flies are to small and will need house flies. 3/4 house flies a day would be good.

If there is food running around stressing them out when they're not hungry or if you drop a really well-fed one on the cement, sure, but they're not going to pop otherwise.
