[QUOTE="Trollolloller, post: 252371, member: 7206"] I got a few mantids (a Chinese mantis and two ghost mantids). I've been having to hand feed them for the past few weeks because they are too big for fruit flies and I haven't been able to get larger flies for them, so I've been hand feeding them meal worms. I was just wondering: when I am able to get flies and stop having to hand feed them, will they still "remember" how to hunt and catch their own food? I think they will, it's just I imagine it sorta being like a bird who's mamma never taught her to fly, or a cheetah cub who was never taught how to hunt. [/QUOTE]
