[QUOTE="avn, post: 294454, member: 9059"] I left the mantises overnight with the crickets for a few days and most of the crickets got eaten. No harm to the mantises is visible, despite y'alls doom and gloom. i think they had to get used to this strange new creature! However they were definitely too big for some of the mantises, so I looked for a size smaller. I managed to find a place that sells crickets that are about as big as Abraham Lincolns face on the penny. the mantises pounce on them really fast. a cricket is a tough food! It's jumping everywhere and trying to get away. I like that it's a challenge for them. Otherwise they're just sittin in that cage doing nothing. Lazy! [/QUOTE]
