[QUOTE="The Wolven, post: 349111, member: 12740"] Alright so I dragged in our local scientist to give their two cents. I didn't really want to say it outright, but I need to. The route you want to take would seriously harm any mantises you keep. By not feeding them proper food, they will never thrive and will likely die. If you are not able to properly give your mantises the food they need, then you should not own one. It's the same thing as a dog or cat. If you cannot provide the correct environment for them to thrive, then you do not need to be owning one. Mantises are predators first and foremost. Perhaps if you are able to have little porch garden or garden area, you can enjoy them again. Females tend to stick to one general area, especially when fed. [/QUOTE]
