feeding Gemattus

[londonmantid]

Hi everybody

ive just got Gemattus from Kelly (everything went perfectly ok with her btw) that are amazing and theyre ok

its just that they are not in the mood for feeding so ive decided to leave like 8 tiny crickets on each box and wait

as they spend the whole day hanging fron the net on top

ive got some Elongata as well and theyre feeding right

Any advice on how to feed them?

should i get worried or just leave nature

thanks

Miguel

Maybe about to molt? Otherwise they will eat when they are ready.

Are you aware that flower mantids prefer flies over crix?

yes im, but its the only food i founded in my area and the crickets are really tiny like 2 milimetres

apart from that, ive got C Elongatus and they are eating the crickets pretty well

thanks for the advise
