My little test :D

[Samzo]

I thought i'd see if my mantis and tarantulas would eat pinkies, my baboon grabed it and and cacooned it lol and my budwing took it from my hands and readily feasted on the pinkies brain :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: heres couple of pix.. bad quality I know,

Anyway, next morning the pinkie didnt have a head lol

 

[infinity]

whoah... :shock: but next time :twisted: make sure tha mantis is literally starved before you feed it one next time... then we can see how much it can eat

 

[Samzo]

Yeah I was gunna do that, but couldnt wait lol I bet a budwing could eat it all, greedy buggers

 

[Lan]

[hortus]

damn, i cant contribute. but i do have a video on my camera of a l5 giant indian eating another one, to the song "michelle" by the beatles.

 

[Rib]

I couldn't let my mantids eat each other. What was the occasion for the lizard?

 

[Rick]

Lizard was just a common one we have around here and I tossed it in there to see what would happen. You see the result. I also have a pic of an H. Grandis eating a full grown female chinese. That wasn't on purpose though.

I have some gross pics.... not suitable for someone with weak heart

My friend feed the house gecko to this female Hierodula Parviceps...... :twisted: Nothing left at the end, even the bones were consumed!! :shock:

 

[Ian]

Cheers,

Ian

 

[Lan]

whoa that was sick! more... i want more...

 

[infinity]

I know the mantids' jaws are some of the strongest around but do they ever have problems with bones?

 

[Johnald Chaffinch]

last time something was posted about feeding em lizards

some dude on here was saying how wrong it was, this'll show him :lol:

this is one of the best pics i've ever seen, the lizards

obviously quite happy to go, a warriors death * waves* :

 

[Jwonni]

i couldn't do it, i feel a bit sorry for BIG crickets although i use em and have no problem with small crickets/flys

i could not use live lizard/pinkie the lizard was very gross so i wouldn't want to watch the mess of even a dead one although the pinkie wasn't too messy (from the pics)

however i do not think you guys are wrong like the guy mentioned in above post is on about as big things get eaten in the wild so its natural just as a lion eating a zebra but i wouldn't want to be there as the zebra is killed
