I also agree with Rob, they are real eating machines fertile adult females and although they may not gather as much in the wild they still have good days (eg mantis religiosa waiting at entrance to bee hive and stuffing itself obese on bee's) and need to be able to store/ingest there good fortunes.
If they are not hungry for what ever reason they usually knock prey away or move themselves to cover.
The only real danger with such a heavy mantis is that it might fall on to a hard surface and rupture itself if housed inappropriately or handled badly
