[QUOTE="River Dane, post: 320038, member: 10104"] I’ve been told that inbreeding is dangerous for mantids, others have said it’s only dangerous for some species, and other times people just say it doesn’t matter with insects. So, to those with a decent amount of breeding experience, how do you feel about inbreeding? Have you noticed any differences in health between the offspring of unrelated vs related parents? And which species cannot or should not be inbred? Just curious because this year I actually want to try breeding some mantids. :D [/QUOTE]
