Hi
I have recently received a level 3-4 female African Mantis. I was wondering if I should still try to feed her from a fruit fly culture or should I move on to small crickets. So far, she has not eaten the fruit fly that I put in her cage. Could this mean that she cannot even see it or could she be about to molt? She has hardly moved for the three days that I've had her. She just hangs from the top of the cage. Also, I have noticed that her lower body looks sort of curved into a "U" shape. Could this be a sign of molting or just the work of gravity? Should I even attempt to put any food in her container?
