[QUOTE="MantisGirl13, post: 341099, member: 10807"] Where are you planning to get your crickets? Crickets can carry bacteria that cause an infection in the mantis which we usually call black death. This can be mostly avoided if the crickets are kept in a sterile environment where healthy crickets never have access to sick or dead ones, which is very difficult to avoid. I suggest going with something like mealworms, which have a lot less risk. Crickets can also attack and kill a vulnerable mantis if they are left alone. I'm sorry for your loss. - MantisGirl13 [/QUOTE]
