I went to put a cricket in my mantis's cup, and I closed it only to find that my mantis was on the verge of escaping when I closed it. I accidently crushed it in the lid. His upper body seems to be working alright, but his legs aren't. He's moving around and propping himself up... What should I do? Will it recover do you think, or is it freezer time?
Update: Looked at him just a second ago and he's starting to move his legs, though not to well. I moved him to a new cup without crickets in it, cause they were bothering him.
Update: It looks like he's standing up now. Before he kind of pulled himself up, but it looks like he's putting weight on his legs now.
Update: He's hanging upside down on a stick now without using his arms... I think he'll be fine. That was scary.
