[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 313606, member: 1492"] I feed roaches and have never had a problem with getting excitement although I haven't had those particular species of mantises or those roaches. I use P Nivea. I like how light bodied they are. I imagine part of the problem is the mantises likely aren't really keying into the roaches as food. I feed mine in white Dixie cups so the roach contrast a lot. I will pop the cup a bit to make sure the roach is moving. Once any of my crew spot them they go in hungrily and eat with relish. Yesterday I gave five of my 3rd instar Chinese mantises their first roach and they all look like porkers now. Probably should have gone a bit smaller with their first roach meal. XD [/QUOTE]
