L1 Nymphs eating Pinheads!

[bluebman52]

I was able to feed pinhead (1 week) crickets to my L1 nymphs today! I was quite surprised as the crickets are actually kind of big for them, but they seem to be handling them ok!

Most mantids can tackle food you might think is too big.

 

[OGIGA]

Awesome! I wouldn't ever expect any species I have kept to be able to do that. What species are your nymphs?

 

[bluebman52]

Tenodera aridifolia

 

[Ben.M]

Yep, they would be able to handle them because of their aggresivness and of their size after hatching

 

[bluebman52]

Yeah. I was going to say something but i didnt want to sound stupid lol. These seem to be bigger than the others I have hatched in the past.
