Gravid female ghost acting so wierd last night

[Mantiskid]

My female ghost last night was acting really, very wierd. Lethargic, and weak. Does it have to do with the fact she's going to lay an Ooth soon? She's seemingly OK now, but last night she couldn't move her walking legs. The weight of her egg-laden body didn't help, I guess, but I've never seen this happen before. Any help here?

Right before mine was about to lay an ooth she was inspected everything and climb all over her cage (2.5 gallon) Then she found the right spot and settled down

Oh but right after my popa laid an ooth she was VERY weak

You don't think she'll die do you?

No! not if she eats

She is eating more normally now, though not every day.

Ghosts are on and off eaters. No need to worry there

Wow really? In praying mantids keeping aliens it said adult female ghosts eat every day.

I believe it said can eat every day. Hold on, going to check my copy right now...

Quote: "Half-grown nymphs and subadults eat infrequently, once of twice a week. Once the females become adults, they begin to eat a lot more and may feed every day."
