[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 194404, member: 1492"] I've used crickets as a base diet for years and have what I consider good success with them. I've never had a mantis injured by a cricket nore have I ever had any deaths that seem caused by a cricket. I can't speak on fertility since I don't tend to breed my mantises. Flies can be fun, but I don't like having to constantly order things. I can get a breeder tank of crickets going with no effort on my part and they make for very active prey items so are easy to feed. I do tend to avoid fly only mantises. I like the braver more active species and most of those seem to be the same types that enjoy tackling a wide range of prey rather than shuddering in terror at anything other than a fly. [/QUOTE]
