I recently built a very large cage for my two religiosas so I could add many crickets at once with cricket food and let them hunt. They are stuffing themselves and even dropping half eaten crickets to the bottom then climbing down to catch another! On several occasions I have seen them stalk a cricket after dropping pieces below. I thought after reading everything that if they enclosure was large you add extra feeders so that the mantids can find them. One actually ate 5 large crickets overnight! The cage is 9"wx13"lx20"h and has plenty of places for crickets and mantids to hide. Any thoughts as to why my guys are doing this and any suggestions as to how I can still keep the feeders in the same cage without them stuffing everytime?
