Of course, you should never intentionally try to replicate these results. As long as your mantis is still plump, she should be fine. The more you try to force feed her, the longer she’ll delay her molt, from what I’ve observed with my own mantids. I would suggest leaving her alone for several days, and if she starts to get skinny again, you can try feeding a little more.Good luck!</blockquote>
