Nursery

Here's my ghost nursery, I put a foam plug on the top to get feeders in there

nice. I use something similar, but with a bit less ventilation so I can keep humidity up a bit easier

P.S. use a blow dryer on high to heat up the labels and they come off real slick

I used to use tons of goo gone and several sharp objects. :lol: (I don't use goo gone on mantis cages though.)

LOL anytime........ I dont know about the different age :blush:

if it's a lot bigger, than probably not. 1 instar bigger is ok.

 

[Crazy4mantis]

and if you're willing to risk it, maybe 2 or even 3 instars (probably not 3 though). ghosts are not aggressive.

I would not mix more than one instar. I had cannibalism even when they were the same instar.

 

[Crazy4mantis]

Yes, but what if one molts before the rest?

Than I separate it out.

 

[Crazy4mantis]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

 

[Crazy4mantis]

well, it would depend if there is lots of space (try something from the "mantis heaven" topic :lol: ) and how much they're fed. also, I heard you shouldn't mix males and females after presub.

 

[sueb4653]

mine are all the same instar so far and they are getting lots of hydei everyday

Yaeh spot on.

I was just about to mention you should always put the feeding hole on the side. I think you recognize that now.

an easy fix
