[QUOTE="Deacon, post: 288344, member: 8619"] Hey all, Thank you all for your suggestions to help. I really have appreciated all the input and I know you all care about each and every mantid you have touched or you wouldn't have bothered. In spite of everything, he (Humpy) was not thriving enough to carry on and I felt worse trying to keep him alive than putting him down. So, this evening, I placed him in the freezer next to the bodies of my T sinensis m and f. :angel: If only the USPS had delivered him as promised, this wouldn't have happened because he would have been here in time to molt. On a brighter note, my Hierodula female molted to sub-adult yesterday. She is sooo strong and aggressive! Thanks, everyone! Nancy Edit: to answer the questions, I did leave a few hydei in with him at first but it became apparent that his raptorial claws did not work, in spite of having the molt taken off, so I removed them. I cleaned his cup this afternoon, and no, there was no frass---that is what made the decision to stop. [/QUOTE]
