My chihuahua dogs love tofu! (soy bacon, soy sausage, tofurkey, ground soy). I wonder if mantids like tofu?
Arkanis, try it and let us know!My chihuahua dogs love tofu! (soy bacon, soy sausage, tofurkey, ground soy). I wonder if mantids like tofu?
(I'm assuming you normally buy/have it around)
Don't think I could quite sleep at night knowing termites and roaches were nearby... ok I am sure I couldn't, I would be sitting up with your shoes in my hand hitting anything that moved :blink:
Lol@Rebecca! :lol: What makes it even funnier is you said "your" shoes... like you wouldn't use your own to smash creepie crawlies, you'd use eaglewarriors! ...let alone take yours off your feet!
~still giggling~
Now who's the funny girl? No way, I have considered it, but my hubby would probably take his shoe off and crack me a couple times with it. ha ha, it would be me saying to my poor old feet" feet don't fail me now!" :lol: , Naw seriously I lived in the poor side of town when I first got married (many moons ago) and the people next door were very nasty housekeepers, and they had some kind of German Roach I believe, well the landlady had an exterminator come in and spray and the guy when done, stood outside laughing because he saw them leaving and coming over to my yard and I guess he thought it was funny, I didn't, hated them, which I promptly became infested with them, and also had a boyfriend, (yes we called them that even back then) God you would think I was ancient ! His family named them when they ran across the table :] Also I worked somewhere that had the Palmano roaches and they were bigger than I was, scared the snot out of me whenever I saw one, wanted to take out my 38 and blow their heads off! AW NUTS! So all in all the simple answer would be NO!Lol@Rebecca! :lol: What makes it even funnier is you said "your" shoes... like you wouldn't use your own to smash creepie crawlies, you'd use eaglewarriors! ...let alone take yours off your feet!
Lol... I see!
:lol: Reminds me of when I was a kid... My parents divorced when I was 7, and mom moved us (my brother, me, and her) to this little rental house that was infested with roaches. Omg... it was horrible. You could see them running around everywhere. I remember sitting on a wooden chair in the dining room with my feet up crying, and feeling petrified of moving or any getting on me. And I'll never forget the time I bought my first house. The next morning after moving in, I went into the bathroom and was at the sink. I looked down and there was a roach nestled in between the bristles of my toothbrush, looking up at me. I about died. The funny thing was, I'm a very frugal person, and I didn't want to throw the toothbrush away because it was new. I washed and scrubbed it and even soaked it in bleach... but I couldn't get the image of that cockroach in it out of my head. The dilemma really stressed me out for several days! (In the meantime I bought another new toothbrush). But I just couldn't bring myself to use it so I ended up throwing it out. :lol: 
I keep telling my wife that I am going to start a mantid army! LOL (You have to have something to fight the coming zombie attacks right?I'm wondering what everyone else's families and/or roomates thinks of your hobby of mantis keeping?
My 9 year old son shares some of my enthusiasm, but not as much as I'd like. He gets bored with, and usually avoids helping me look for wild mantids, oothes, or catching mantis dinners in the Summer. But he does think they're neat. I get the feeling some of my co-workers and friends think I'm a bit "strange" sometimes.
What does your family think of the mantids, feeders, and your interest in keeping them?
) Anyway she keeps telling me that if I bring any "bugs" into the house then shes gone...but shes loves me and I know that realy she says it just to get a laugh from our friends!
Hard to tell what she will feed ya.
She is breeding a Hymenopus Coronatus...
