[QUOTE="Synapze, post: 349126, member: 10818"] You might have better luck with flying prey... blue bottle flies or house flies depending on the instar. I'd offer water, throw some nice flies in his enclosure and leave him alone for a while. If he starts eating I'd avoid feeding too much at once. It can cause problems when a very thin mantis is given too much prey at once. Good luck! 🤞 Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
