Is he one of 14? Are you a breeder?

[Zoo keeper]

L 4 is his instar stage. I am however a breeder I currently have 30 ghost mantis nymphs and 2 Chinese mantis juveniles up for grabs !

[Zoodulcis]

Oh got it. What got you interested in mantis breeding and do you have a website?

[Zoo keeper]

I just think they are so cool ! And you can find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/chelseyscraftycritters/

[Zoodulcis]

They are cool. I would have some but they don’t live very long and that would make me too sad. Still, I might try to get over it and indulge in some orchid or leaf types one day.

do you feed the mantis crickets?

[Zoo keeper]

Yes crickets, dubia, fruit flies( if they are just babies ) , meal worms they love it all ! Crickets are mt go to staple

[Zoodulcis]

I bet it’s fun to watch them hunt and feed. How many crickets per week does each mantis consume?

[Zoo keeper]

It depends on how hungry they are they can go threw 4and 5 crickets per meal and they eat several times a week

Awesome!! I love the giant rainforest!! I haven’t found any nymphs lately. I currently have spiny, giant asian, ghosts, caffra, a Brunner ooth, ghost. And gemmatus ooth baking. It started as a simple hobby and it took over!!
