[QUOTE="minomantis, post: 348044, member: 6680"] Ghost mantises are picky and are at a size that they’re afraid of everything which can be quite annoying. I’ve raised a few that readily ate dubias, but even when they caught I had to watch them because sometimes they would just drop it. The dubias have to be small if you want to feed them but many places don’t have them in the size you need. I order from Josh’s frogs. If you need quick food, get the house flies. They usually hatch the day of arrival. Ghost mantises will surprise with the size of food they can catch. When they’re comfortable, they will go after larger prey (meaning larger sized flies). Good luck! -mino [/QUOTE]
