[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 286787, member: 8168"] Indeed they do, and the more they eat the larger the ootheca they will lay. Mine typically eat a lot while gravid, to ensure large ooths. Right before laying however they will stop eating, much like molting. Once they lay an ooth though they are usually really hungry from the experience. How many BB flies is she eating? I know my Chinese mantid girls will go through 10 to 15 GB/BB flies daily if I offer them to the girls. Perhaps your female is getting ready to lay her ooth, or is eating enough BB flies that she isn't interested in the roaches. [/QUOTE]
