Silver fish?

[mykey14]

I have so many silver fish around my house and i dont know what else to do with them except feed them to my mantises! The problem is i dont know anything about silver fish. Can they hurt my little mantids and are they poisonous?

There's not much to 'em, so I dunno how much benefit they'll provide to a mantis but I think you're safe to give it a try if you'd like. Mantids are pretty good at refusing to eat things that are bad for them or not worth their time/energy (too small).

I hate those things, makes my skin crawl, in case u was wondering! :tt2:

It is fine. Not much of a meal but I have fed them to mantids when I was able to catch them.
