h.mem not eating

[Hibiki]

ever since i moved my h.mem into a bigger cage it wont eat, but it use to come down to the bottom of it's deli cup to eat crickets but it just stays at the top of it's new cage, is there a reason for this?

mine did exactly the same !!!!!

would be interesting to see why ... all of my membranaceas have been like this . i just take the lid off with them still attached . then place the food next to them and they chase it down . people say membranacea is an active hunter ... mine have never been while in a big tank !

i'll try to put the food on the lid and see if that works.

sometimes they take a while to adjust to new surroundings. also a mantids eyesight can only be so good

Most mantids stay on the lid. It could be about to molt.

they can moult after they got their wings?
