[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 308547, member: 1492"] No, it is not normal for this species to go off food that long prior to a molt. If you aren't dealing with a blockage, which doesn't sound to be the case since there has been no vomiting, I would be concerned she doesn't feel comfortable shedding in your current setup. Chinese mantises are a large species and they need to have access to easy to cling to surfaces. In my experience these species is not fond of shedding off a perfectly horizontal plane like a lid when they reach the later instars. Does she have access to an angled shedding surface? [/QUOTE]
