Hey y'all,

So Momo just molted into an adult on Tuesday night. I just gave them kind of a chonky silkworm, which now I am second guessing if it was a good size. They seem to be throwing up but still trying to eat it...?

Should I try taking it away from them ?

Also their abdomen is going to the side while they eat and poop...is that normal?

they will eat until they physically cant eat anymore. Yes if they are throwing up remove the food item.

Ok, I didn't get a chance to do that tbh. If their abdomen is a little sideways is that normal?

That mantis is just pooping. That's very normal.
