new from Canada

[catfish]

Hi, I'm new here. Starting tomorrow I should be the new owner of a chinese mantis, so I'm looking up last-minute information to make sure I've got everything ready. I have a Bsc. in biology in which I paid more than average attention to inverts. and I've worked in a petstore, but I haven't kept a mantis before. Most of my petkeeping experience is with fish.

Hi Catfish, got any worms? :tt2:

 

[catfish]

Well, the compost pile is full of worms, so I think the answer is yes.

I've been trawling through the housing information, and have picked up some very useful things - and have removed the houseplants from the cage and washed the leaves. They'll go back in a few weeks. Thank you, you may have saved my mantis from exposure to pesticides. (I should have though of that problem myself, but I didn't. I guess I'm too used to the fact that I don't use pesticides or inorganic fertilizers on my plants)

Thank you for all the welcomes, makes me feel very at home.
