hi y'all!
ive always wanted more of a variety of feeder insects for my mantids and saw a really good deal online for dubias. I also bought the roach chow that was their food if mixed with water.
just today, i received them! Everything came perfect. They were in 2 raggy bags and I knew I had to put them somewhere. So I got 2 plastic containers and 1 for each bag, I threw them in. (Also with the egg crates) I had a sponge and filled that with water with a sauce cup lid to hold the water so it won't be running, the food, at first in a 2 oz cup, but knew they wouldn't reach it, so the food was just laying with them haha. That's basically it though. Any input is appreciated.

Some questions you can answer:
When do I add food for them? (I don't want them to be big at all)
How do I feed them to my mantids? (They can't climb, they're mostly on the floor, and their shells are so big)
How long do they last/live? (I plan to keep them for maybe a year :E)
How often should I feed them to my mantids? (I heard roaches have lots of protein, but mantids don't have bones)
Would anyone like to purchase some from me? They'll be really cheap cause i wanna get rid of many XD
