Idolomantis Diabolica Issues

[Ghozt]

I was doing fine till they hit the molt b4 sub adult. its like they lost there grip on things. infact, as they aged, it got worse ! They cant climb glass or plastic, and looks like they struggle on branches. They both fell from there last molt and im glad i had my live stream on because they woulda died ! Yes, i had to hold them for 45 min upside down steady...2x... it sucked... so now its close to there last molt, what should i do ?

I just made a thread about the exact same thing. I may combine the two threads. I added a lot of thin branches and it seems to have helped.

I was about to say it's just like what Rick said. How strange! They're such a beautiful mantid. Sucks that they have so many "issues"

Yeah, check on Rick's thread, a few of us posted some help on this issue

hmm, glue and a tooth pick for that 1 idolo with a missing leg if it dont grow back.. as for the other 1. its a total retard, uhhh... it dont have 100% control over its legs and its arms are bent a tad from when it 1st fell and it cant catch food so well, i hand feed her sometimes. Both i hope will molt this week. I wanna get it on http://www.livestream.com/x6h0ztx and if it randomly happends ill post soon as i boradcast and record so ppl can watch swan diving idolos... JK i hope they do well. you might get to see me hold 2 idolos from a fallen molt at the same time for an hour... like last time ! lolz
