Has anyone else had experience with feeding their mantises raw beef and bananas? My T. sinensis seem to love being fed a piece of raw organic beef followed by a piece of organic banana. They will eat until their back ends are full and plump.It seems strange than an animal which does not seek out fruit in the wild would love bananas. Would love to hear from others who have had experience with this.

 
I never fed any meat but they do love banana. I tried organic apple last week and some ate that too. Of course they really love organic honey if you haven't tried that yet. Most will grab the toothpick and hold it while eating the honey.

I've done raw meat when I was in a major pinch for food. I wouldn't recommend it but if you can't get any food, then sure.

They love bananas! I couldn't get my last mantis to stop eating it! Heh! They enjoy pineapple too if you have some.
