Hello, for about 2 months now, none of my mantids have molted. I am beginning to get worried, what should I do. ( the mantids are either pre pre-sub or pre-sub)

What is the species of the mantids that you have? What is the temperature of their enclosures? How often do you feed them?
When subadult most species of mantids take a long time to change into adults. I had subadult ghost females that would take more then 2 months before becoming mature. Not feeding enough or keeping cooler temperature can also slow down a mantid's metabolism.

They are p. griffini and they are kept at room tempuature. I feed them whenever they look hungry. Usually a couple times a week.
