[QUOTE="Graceface, post: 326491, member: 11024"] [USER=11064]@hysteresis[/USER] I'm "down" to about 45 mantids now, lol. It is a lot of work, for sure. Feeding mantids, enclosure cleaning, and all the maintenance, takes me about 2-3 hrs per feeding, which is every 2-3 days. More if I actually let them climb, or spend any time with them. I try to stagger who I care for on what days so it doesn't all have to happen at once, which is daunting. Right now, we aren't breeding flies. The curly wings died off due to unstable environmental conditions from winter. I don't think we can breed them except in the warmer seasons. Downside: less flies available. Upside: less things to take care of Ultimately, I'd like less specimens so I can spend more time with each one. I have way too many Ghosts right now. I think I have 20, and something like 14 of them are males 😑 Anyone want a male Ghost or 5? 😉😂 [/QUOTE]
