How much should I be feeding it?

[coly]

Hello! I’ve attached a picture that shows the size of my mantis. Right now, I am feeding him every other day and offering up to three fruit flies. Does this sound okay? I am basing my care off of the guide on bugs in cyberspace but want to clarify with you guys.

edit: last he ate he would only take one fruit fly and this morning he ate three.

I say put up to 10 ffs in and feed every time they are gone.

Thank you! Could someone second this advice? Just want to be sure

Feed about 10 each time, maybe every other day.

Thanks so much you guys! I offered him seven more (he got three this morning) and he ate them all! Im a proud mom. Thanks for the advice.
