[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 249925, member: 1492"] Mantises don't tend to shrink back down to super thin once they plump up like that. Even if you don't feed her she isn't going to appear to loose much mass. You have to remember she is also forming new skin beneath there and getting ready for her final molt. The reason almost no poo is appearing now is because you aren't feeding her. She has already passed pretty much everything that was in her gut and is now working on reserves. I wouldn't starve her. I would offer small meals every other day like normal and provide water daily. [/QUOTE]
