Insect cups

[moldveien]

So I wanted to get back into mantis keeping, does anyone know where i could get those insect cups at? I remember seeing them on Kevin Young's website but his website has been down... Anyone knows where else I could get them, also nots Josh's frog's they want 40$ for EU shipping.

MantisPlace is where I get mine, though I'm not sure how much international shipping would cost.

Can't be that much right, they dont wheigh much. Well never mind that idea, they dont ship outside of north america at all so :/

Hmmm, I know the cups that are used are the 32 oz deli cups--have you tried looking in stores for them? Just cut out a little circle in the lid and glue down some mesh and you're good to go.

I have tried everything but here in norway it doesnt seem to be as much of a thing with deli cups.

PanTerra Pets has some cups for sale, as well as some stuff inside and a misting bottle. I'm not sure about their international shipping though.

CosbyArt has a cool guide for a DIY mantis enclosure--I think you could definitely make something  ^_^

No 32oz deli cups, with cloth ventilated lids.
