Here is my budwing female that is crippled, she is so sweet, whenever I come into the Bugatorium she follows me with her head. I say "Goodmornin Ms Bug do u want your breakfast already?" And I tell you she just seems to brighten up when she hears me. She can not move only wiggle her front hands a little, she cannot hold onto anything but does seem to hold onto her napkin with one hand, I was turning her over so one side was not sore, but she seems happiest on this side (don't ask how I know she is happier on this side, I am a moma and I just know) :lol: . She has laid one small ooth, and of course u know my girls who are under the weather let's say do not mate. She will eat crickets, superworms, bluebottle flies and has just lately had 2 rosey red feeder fish! YuMMers :p Her mouth is so strong, when I give her water on a Qtip and try to rewet it i have to pull hard to make her let go!

Awww bummer :( that's a great effort Becky, you fed her well!! Now i felt like a devil cos i have been giving up hopes on any cripple mantis :(

 
You could if she looked at you just once. :blink:

Well there is no hope for her to get better, just letting her live the best she can!
