[QUOTE="HunniBunnixo, post: 292659, member: 9094"] Chinese Mantises in one enclosure together will most definitely exhibit cannibalism as an adult. Even keeping them well fed. lol. In my personal experience of keeping them and other species, they are one of the more aggressive eaters and will attack others. I REALLY love your idea though of using the 10 gal tank as a large terrarium for your mantises. I love to give my mantises as much room as possible to roam in and stuff to hang on. (It has to suck living in cubicle..lol Gotta keep it interesting for em. ;) ) As much as you hate to put a divider in, it may be the [I]safest[/I] and [I]surest [/I]way to prevent the loss of any of your pets. There is lots of great ideas on this forum on how to utilize the space of 10 gal tank for multiple mantises. Let it inspire you, and maybe you can come up with an alternative or a way to keep them in the tank. Safely, of course. lol ;) [/QUOTE]
