[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 297720, member: 8168"] Glad her got her to eat something. :) Sometimes they are just picky or finicky about what they want to eat, or she may just not be hungry (if she has been kept well fed until recently) and is not uncommon for mantids to go upwards of two weeks (which can be dangerous) without food although it tends to be mainly males. If you are worried you can try different feeders, feeding her honey from a toothpick, or adjusting her heat/humidity if needed (see her [URL="https://mantidforum.net/index.php?/topic/34001-hymenopus-coronatus-orchid-mantis/"]caresheet here[/URL]) to encourage her to eat.
