[QUOTE="happy1892, post: 348086, member: 5913"] Yes, I have had this happen with store bought crickets. I believe the crickets eat the rotting crickets in the pet stores and so the cricket's from there can be bad. They would kill my mantises and those cricket guts smelled bad when popped open. Some species of mantises are more hardy than others in tolerating bad food. My Sphodromantis cf. lineola were able to survive eating some black soldier fly larvae when my Pnigomantis medioconstricta would die from those black soldier fly larvae. With Orchid mantis any bad food would probably be deadly to them since they seem sensitive to vomiting. I am still not sure what the causes are for Orchid mantis nymphs vomiting. I have heard P. wahlbergii are also particularly sensitive to getting sick from bad food. My P. wahlbergii would get sick from even good crickets or cockroaches when they were kept down at 70F and lower. The P. wahlbergii need to be kept warmer to avoid getting sick. [/QUOTE]
