[QUOTE="mmcguffi, post: 251799, member: 7272"] Hey guys! One of my chinese mantis ooths just hatched 2 days ago and Im in need of some direction! I let the vast majority of them go (in Michigan) but I have 3 small mason jars (~16 oz or less) that I have some in. The jars have live moss substrate, plenty of small twigs and such for vertical surfaces, and there are about 5-8 mantids in each jar. I probably should have less in each right? It's just hard to only put a few in when you have so many! Also I have a couple cultures of D. hydei -- are these too large for my L1 nymphs? Ignorantly, I put some ffs in on day 1 with the mantids. Im not sure if they have touched them yet (I dont believe so). I have one jar that the mantids haven't been given any ffs yet and I was thinking about giving them ffs today or tomorrow. And last question -- I plan on ultimately keeping 3-4 adults. What is the minimum sized container I can keep each in? I would like to eventually construct some mantis-condos out of acrylic. Thanks and Im excited to be a part of this community! :sorcerer: [/QUOTE]
