I just got my first mantis and she molted two days ago but she hasn't eaten anything yet. I put a couple waxworms in her tank last night (in a bowl so they cant crawl away) and they're still there, and she's still just hanging from the roof of the tank. She was eating crickets when I first got her, but I don't have any and my local store is out. Any help on how to get her to eat the waxworms would be greatly appreciated. I was told she was an aurora mantis, I put the link from the breeder's page at the bottom of this post. Thanks for reading.
