Feeding help

[loklthecat]

I'm new. I live in NC and have a pod I'm going to hatch soon and Tareaum but I am at school I will give the size later on when I'm home
but I want to know if the crickets and mealworms at pet smart are ok feed if thay are I will breed them for feed
all so if you can feed nymphs meal worms I have a limited supply of money about 15$ and any money-saving tips welcome. Thank you.

Better not giving crickets to your mantids. They can carry parasites or disaeses. Better use flies, grasshoppers or roaches.

New hatched mantids you can give Drosophila melanogaster fruitflies
