[QUOTE="lancaster1313, post: 249795, member: 4001"] I think that you can only do what you were doing and wait to see if she fixes her problem with a molt. Looks as if she will molt soon, very soon. Maybe she is close enough to molting that she is not hungry anyway. If her rectum is exposed as in the photos and doesn't go back in, there definitely is a problem. It might turn out ok anyway. Who knows? It shouldn't be long. You seem to be doing the right thing as you are not putting a whole lot of food into a mantis who is having trouble defecating. Unfortunately, wait and see, is the only thing I can advise unless you want to experiment, which could be dangerous. [/QUOTE]
