Cociche got her dinner too today, but she didn't wanted to leave my hand. Instead I gave her her cricket on my hand. She was there till she dropped the last piece of the cricket: she was full.

She is really attached to you! IT is a good thing that she knows how to stop eating when she is full! 

(A fly just landed on the computer next to my finger. Needless to say, It will be in the belly of a mantis very soon! :)  )

I think that fly did already end in a mantis belly by now? :p I hate flies.

yeah, I like it too when  Cochise shows "I am full" and drops her leftovers. I can't see it at her abdomen anymore. She won't overeat herself. ?

Bob abdomen was flattish I gave him a cricket to eat and he took his time to eat it and left a little piece. He looks now well fed. I have the feeling he is eating better after his last molt, but I can be wrong.

Hehe, she was sitting on those cups till I removed the cups yesterday, because I needed them for rehousing :p Wondering if Cochise will like a bite/sip of honey

 
I bet she would enjoy that! She is such an amazing creature. You are lucky to have her :)

I am happy with her yes, she is cool. she is roaming free lately. If I want to feed her, i just pick her up and feed her?

 
I Hope it too.

New pics:

Bob was sharing a Dubia with Cochise. It kept him very busy.

Somehow Cochise was showing a threat pose. I think because she saw Bob eating his breakfast this morning.

Cute! I like how you captured Bob hiding his face behind the roach!

- MantisGirl13

 
He was holding the roach like a mask? the roach tried to walk away while Bob was holding it. I cut of the legs in the end and Bob could enjoy it in peace.

 
Here is the pic of it: half roach wanted to walk away from Bob an i was holding 1 of its legs to prevent escaping,?

I have to say, since his last molt Bob enjoys eating much more.

;)  I am glad he is eating more! When I hand feed roaches I always pull off the legs so it can't walk away.

With Cochise the roach wouln't have had a chance trying to walk away.? Cochise still don't know how to catch them, but if I put a piece before her she knows it is yummie and grabs it.

 
:)  That is true! My ghosts will walk up and take a piece of roach from my hand because they know that it is yummie!

Think dubia's are hard to catch. Is because of their backs. It feels like a hard shield if I grab them. But they can be broken in pieces ;)
