[QUOTE="d17oug18, post: 185352, member: 2842"] Well people in europe are, in my opinion, ages ahead of us on mantis care! And when i first started this hobby plenty were expiermenting with alot of foods and care and housing! Its already been proven many many times that a tropical mantis can live a full term just on crickets, kept cold... AND kept together with 1% casualty(not counting unknown deaths). Ive tried it myself, with gongys... Fed only crickets, kept under 80*F, and together. And they would rather starve to death then eat a brotheren... lol, Really... the only down side to cricket fed TROPICAL species is unfertile ooths and a few starving to death sense crickets hide downward, not climb upwords. Keeping them cold with make them shed VERY slowly, only being able to be adult for a few months instead of the normal 4-6 ish months. To all the doubters - I no longer have any proof of the cites, posts, or threads which USE to include pictures. This was many years ago and i aint lookin it up lol =P [/QUOTE]
