[QUOTE="ismart, post: 104298, member: 584"] I agree with Rick 100% I don't quite understand why anybody would want to feed there mantids fruit. I really doubt it is good for them. I'm pretty sure in nature a mantis would very rarely stumble apon rippened fruit and deciede to dig in. If anything it would rather consume the insects that are feasting on the fruit instead. The only thing non meat a mantis should or would be consuming in nature would be pollen, and what ever minute amount of food that is in the gut of what ever insect it happens to be consuming. I can only see fruit as being filler. Your mantis is more than likley dying from improper care. feed it insects and give it some sticks or twigs for it to climb on instead of legos. [/QUOTE]
