[QUOTE="Predatorhousepet, post: 314216, member: 10650"] I've had a male ghost living with 2 females since they were L4 and they all finally molted to adulthood recently, the male last. Ever since he molted, as soon as he was dry he was after the girls mating with them. He's been going back and forth between them for a week and I've only caught him off and alone once which is when I was able to get him to eat one fly but that was about 5 days ago. He's extremely thin now and I'm starting to get worried about him. I tried to feed him while he was still on a female but he just ignored me. The females eat of course, they don't seem to care he's back there. He only seems to have one goal in mind, should I try separating them and put him in a separate enclosure for a while to give him a break? I'm not sure he would eat even if I did but I don't have any experience with breeding mantises....are adult males always sex-crazed lunatics with no care for their own well-being? [/QUOTE]
