[QUOTE="brytewolf, post: 346064, member: 12859"] I just got in 3 ghost nymphs from mantidworld, and they all survived shipping, yay! \o/ But one of them molted during shipping (really, you had to pick that one day when it's dangerous??), and unboxing him it's obvious he didn't survive it unscathed. One of his raptorial arms is being held away from his body at an unnatural angle, and he's not moving it. I'm hoping it'll fix itself when he molts again. I think he's L3, but these are my first mantids so I'm not 100% sure. He's smaller than the other two, and mantidworld said L2/L3. But I think the other 2 are L4s. What I'm concerned about is feeding him to get him to his next molt. Are there any considerations I should keep in mind when feeding him? Would hand feeding with tweezers be better for him? He obviously won't grip as well. I'm try to get a picture of him when he gets to a better place in the enclosure XD. [/QUOTE]
