dying idolo- can you induce laying?

[brancsikia339]

So my beloved female idolo was perfectly fine yesterday morning (eating, drinking, threat posing) and i came home last night to her cross legged on the floor. She was pumping her abdomen trying to lay an ootheca. She fell whilst trying and she stopped. Now she's barely alive, still pumping her abdomen. Anyway i can induce laying to save her?

doesnt sound good

here's the deal

if mine makes it to adult u can have her because i have decided i will not breed her because the white glob on the end of her abdomen makes me think she has a genetic problem and i dont want it to continue in a new generation and i can't deal with her laying infertile ooths

I say let nature take its course and try again, Sad truth is for a hobby dealing with a live being we get the short end with life expectancy. Take what you've learned and advance everything the next round.

I would think you've had mantis long enough to know the answer to that? Perhaps focus on a new species for a while first...

[angelofdeathzz]

2-3 times as long as a male, 4-6 months.
