[QUOTE="Mantis_1221, post: 8947, member: 284"] Bad moults can occur due to a number of reasons, it can be because of food shortage, getting entangled in it's own shedded coverings, or it might struggle to get loose from the old coverings and tear off a limb by accident. One of my mantids died from being deformed as he was stuck in his old skin and could not get out. I tried holding the crickets in front of his mouth so he could eat but he never did and died of starvation. :cry: [/QUOTE]
