Mantid treats

I've heard of honey as a treat, but I'm curious to see what else they seem to enjoy eating as a treat. What do you guys feed them?

I’ve heard mantises love bananas. Maybe some kind of fruit, but I’m guessing anything acidic shouldn’t be fed to them.

Yeah I figured I would have to ask the experts before feeding anything other than banana or honey. I was just curious to see what people gave them, I had even heard of chocolate but thsts loaded with and I doubt it would be wise to feed them that.  How about vegetables? Anything watery and not acidic?

I definitely would not feed them chocolate... I don’t think they would be interested in vegetables. Just remember they are carnivores our in the wild.
