Orchid mantis care?

[OGIGA]

there is no problem feeding crickets to Hymenopus, but the reputation for poisoning mantids is associated with infected crickets causing diseases and infections which could lead to premature death. These risks can be minimized or eliminated if you breed your own crickets or avoid using them.

I see. At least I have a reason and not a stupid "Just don't do it." THanks.

Is this aimed at me ? Do you have any idea how many times I have typed the reason for not feeding crickets ? :blink: The reason I don't type anymore is because I simply can't e bothered; there are only so many times you can repeat yourself.

I have to agree with Rob: we explained many, many times what's the problem with crickets. We won't explain it again. It was never just a "stupid "Just don't do it.""
