[QUOTE="Bathory, post: 313593, member: 10530"] I noticed with my mantids that if they won't take a feeder and I cut it up so they realise it's food sooner or later they will grab a whole live one. This worked with wax worms and crickets but I didn't try it with roaches as my mantids seemed to grab them anyway. For roaches I just got some small dubia nymphs in a plastic container and offered them like that. I was especially surprised at my gongy who would grab several small dubias if I let her hang upside down from my hand over a small container of them (I mean it took like 10 minutes to get her relaxed enough to grab them but she did it).
