[QUOTE="markdneck, post: 30538, member: 1111"] So ... I string the oothca up in an enclosure, the nymphs slide out when they are ready and then what do I do with them? I saw a picture here where they are in some straw looking stuff. Is that where I keep them? And I pour in some fly larva from Petco ... and when they start looking bigger, the ones not canabalized anyway, I give them their own enclosure and feed larger fruit flies until they can handle crickets? Am I on the right track? HELP! The great thing about this new hobby of mine is it is so inexpensive, my wife was a little put off at first. She didn't believe mantids wouldn't bite if they got out. She also said "how can anybody like them?!" I pointed out that she loves People magazine and I hate those celebrities. We are all different. Compared to coin collecting or tennis or about any hobby ... mantid husbandry is a definitely economical hobby! [/QUOTE]
