[QUOTE="Andrew, post: 5866, member: 20"] It may be getting ready to molt. If the mantis looks skinny then you can try cutting off the head of a cricket and use a pair of reptile feeding tongs(tweasers will work too) to put the juices against the mantids mouth. If the mantis is young it may take a few tries, but eventually it should accept the meal. Sometimes the mantis is lazy and you have to hold the cricket up for the mantid to eat for a few minutes before it will grab it. :roll: Thanks, Andrew [/QUOTE]
