[QUOTE="Shelbycsx, post: 22639, member: 708"] Welcome!! I've been learning alot by reading this wonderful forum (and others :wink: ). A few hints: Be sure to have fruitflies available before you get the babies. The "wingless" flies are smaller which you'll need for smaller mantids. "Flightless" are bigger which means less meals to catch if the mantids are bigger in size. As the mantids get bigger in size, try to use roaches and house fly's (any others?) instead as the main staple, rather than crickets. You can use wax worms and others as supplemental treats. I'm still a noob myself, so I hope a pro will step in if I'm wrong about anything. Hope that helps :D [/QUOTE]
