[QUOTE="Ckowsky, post: 349085, member: 6808"] Dubias won't bite; I'd personally be more concerned with the mantis being picky about food preferences. I've tong fed dozens of times; sometimes its immediately successful, other times I'm twirling the bug around for ages, other times it won't work unless the bug is actively moving around and enticing the mantis, sometimes just having a cut dubia and holding the innards up to the mantis entices it to start eating. Perhaps you could get lucky with a voracious eater and be fine; but I also want to caution in the case that the frozen/thawed meals just aren't stimulating enough for the mantis. [/QUOTE]
