Weird behavior

[collinchang635]

My L5 ant mantid is behaving weirdly. She is not eating and she is more active than usual. She started this behavior 1 day after molting. Any idea why she is doing this? BTW, can an admin help me move this to 'Health Issues'? I accidentally posted this here.

They won't eat 1 day after they molt. Stop worrying :lol:

Yep. Why people new to this hobby worry about every little thing is beyond me.

4 days after molting, she ate one small moth then she stopped eating again. She doesn't move very much anymore even though i touch her.

Now you may worry. Sounds like something that happens to some of my mantids after they molt. They get weak and sluggish, refuse to eat food, and die. <_< Sorry...

+1 It's perfectly understandable why a newbie would worry so much, they are still learning what to do.
