Hi everyone...
I mostly raise scorpions but decided to buy a couple of Chinese Mantis ooths because I always wanted a Chinese Mantis and had heard they were docile and you could hold them. That, and the fact they got a lot bigger than the native species I found in my garden.
Long story short, after their first molt I collected all of them and gave them to a guy down the road who has a large greenhouse where he raises orchids and Bromeliads. I now have 15 L4(if I understand the molting sequence correctly) and don't know what to do next. I currently have them in 32 oz. deli cups with a little coco fiber base, a little green moss and several dowels to climb on.
What next? Can I keep them together in a large enough encloser or do I keep them separated until I try to breed them?
