When My Sister Feeds Him...

[Idolofreak]

This is what happens when I let my sister feed my male T. sinensis...

He gets ham.

She also hand feeds live bugs, but sometimes she gets creative...

I've given my mantids turkey lunch meat! Hey - you have the same mantid habitat as I do!!!

Not really good for us or them, lots of salt in it.....

Well, he only took a REALLY small chunk out of it for like five minutes, and decided he was done with it.

It works in a pinch, I guess. But I wouldn't make it a regular diet item. I just tried one of my lineolas with passion fruit and she LOVED it. She ate all the flesh around the seed and dropped it. Not much to eat, but I thought it'd be a nice treat. It is also fun to watch.

No way you can feed mantises passion fruit?

I know I can.

I just thought I'd try it and see. I didn't try it with any other mantis, but I know this one liked it.

Nice. Sometimes I feed my ghosts honey and they LOVE it.

My ghost has taken a special liking to a honey-jam mix on banana. When eating it he wiggle his butt. Mine wont eat the passion fruit! im jealous of your mantis!
