Oh, Yay! So glad she took some real food! That is a good sign

That's gotta feel good.

At first I gave her honey water, she drank from it, then I gave her dubia goo. She ate it. I gave her a bigger bit and she grabbed that of my tweezers and started eating that bit. i thought maybe she will like the abdomen, I gave her that. The abdomen dissapeard fast in her stomach. And at last she ate the upper body too. I was so happy to see her eating a normal meal

This gives her a chance to survive :clap: I hope she keeps eating, She wants to live. Maybe whith good food in her belly she gets better control of her limbs. but time will tell.

I am still wating for Ayaweya and Panther to molt. They are taking their time to do it.. I would love to see them both grow. But I need to be patient.

Update: Aurene ate a grasshoper today. If I am offering the grasshopper alive, she don't wanna grab it, but cut in 2 pieces and put it before her mouth, she grab it of tweezers and start eating.

Now some pics after Alanas dinner of 3 greenbottle flies I hope she will keep this color. It is something different that basic green.

 

[Graceface]

What a cutie! 

At least Aurene is still eating, always a good sign

 

[MantisGirl13]

She is so pretty! I hope you have more molts soon!

Somehow Alana is getting bigger "pupils" when you look at her like on the second pic. I like it.

It looks like she damaged her eyes, actually. Probably trying to hunt her neighbor through the side of the cage...

hmm, she don't have them always, Only when there is looked at her from a angle. I hope the next molt will fix her eyes.

 

[Mantis Lady]

Ayaweya a couple of days ago. laying flat and with her butt up

maybe she was trying to hide from Alana who was eating a part grasshopper.

Still no molt, and not a molt coming soon, she ate almost 3/4 grasshopper. Panther still no molt either.
