Our Rose is Dying

[sh1bby69]

I just read the thread "final farewell" and it seems like my mantis is also dying of old age. My girlfriend and I got her about 5 weeks ago and we have kept her ever since. She has laid her ootheca and we are now waiting for those to hatch but it seems like Rose won't be able to see that happen. Before it use to be very quick and agile but now she is towards the bottom of the tank and only pushed a cricket away vs trying to catch it. My girlfriend and I are pretty sad about it but we hope to keep one or two of the new born if possible. I just wanted to talk about it. It's really cold outside and I don't see myself placing her outside in the cold. I'll keep her warm until she goes. Thanks for reading guys! I appreciate it.

Thanks for not putting her in the cold, I use to, but really don't like doing it anymore......
