Lost my female ghost tonight :(

[mantisman111]

Noticed that she began to have wet poops and some vomit on the side of her net cage, I think she may have overeaten or eaten something bad. She lived a long healthy life of around 11 months, and I raised her from an L2. After initially buying four nymphs, losing one to cannibalism, and the other male a month earlier, I'm left with only one female I have had a great run with my ghosts and after starting the hobby with them I now have chaeta, wahlbergii, and budwings.

Thank you to this community for introducing me to this wonderful hobby and I hope to continue for a long time

Sorry to hear you lost your first mantis, it's hard to lose any pet, especially a special one. I'm glad to see though she had a long life for a mantis. and your staying with the hobby.

I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm happy to see you are also able to celebrate how your ghosts helped get you into the hobby. Sometimes when they get really old their digestion goes right before they pass, like their body is shutting down. Thus when they reach that point of their life, I tend not to blame something fed so much as old age.

Thanks everyone sounds like I should be thankful she lived so long, I thought it was rather average but I'm happy either way

Sorry for your loss. So sad. But 11 months is great! I tell mine before they die that they are going to Mandy-land where they can eat all the honey bees and crickets they want!
