Chinese Mantis Newbie

[Kjm279]

Hello,

I live in Minneapolis, MN. Every spring we order mantis egg cases to hatch and release into our gardens. This year we've decided to keep a few for pets. I am here to gather as much information to properly care for them. We don't have any other insect pets, but we do share our house with a Russian tortoise, bearded dragon, a dog, and three small humans.

Hello and welcome to the forum

Sounds like you already would have some feeders on hand for the adult mantids (from your other pets), and containers, so it'll make it easier for you. There is plenty of information on here, and if you have any questions feel free to ask (although a quick search will often show the answer if you are in a hurry).
