[QUOTE="Mvalenz, post: 194559, member: 6151"] I feed my mantids dead insect on occasion. The other day I had a bunch of flies that died recently. Instead of letting them go to waste I throw a few in with my mantids and tilt the enclosure upside down so the dead flies roll down the side right past the mantis. They think it is alive and crawling. The mantids can not resist and strike right away and diner is served. Both my Idolos and H. Majusculas eat them like this. As long as they haven't been dead for more than a day or so I don't see anything wrong with it. I never tried canned feeders though. Sometimes my mealworms are not moving so much so I move them around with a bamboo skewer. My H. Majusculas don't pay much attention to the skewer just the mealworm and they eat it up. My Idolos don't want anything to do with mealworms. [/QUOTE]
