Crickets and ghosts

[sueb4653]

Do you all handfeed crickets to ghosts? my ghosts all hang out at the top of the enclosure where as crickets would be on the bottom

Thoughts?

I always make sure there are many branches reaching the ground so a curious cricket has good access. Also when I pour crickets in I try to drop them onto the upper branches right in front of the mantis.

I never hand fed mine. I used mesh cages though so the crickets could crawl right up within striking distance with ease.

Same here! I have to handfeed my ghost also! He hangs from a leave on his little tree and the prey never comes to him so I end up just cutting the food in half and giving the gooey parts to her.

My ghost waits for the crickets to crawl up top. But I have seen her go down to hunt.

I scratch a couple sides of my enclosures with sand paper so crix can climb up.

Wait an extra day between feeds and shell eagerly run down to get her prey ;-)
