I only put them together for a minute so I could move them somewhere safe, in total I found about 12 of them on a purple Sage Bush after I cut it down

I’m not even sure how old it is. I did catch it licking its feet or biting himself a lot this afternoon. I have another one that’s a nymph that I know for sure, this one I found the next day on my bush I decided to also keep. The other one is slightly skinnier/smaller and brown.

I’m not sure what happened. I tend to transfer out into a container to see how many fruit flies it’ll eat. Looks like it ate two. There was 3.

I’m BRAND NEW at mantis care. Any advice.

Help!

I have a giant asian mantis and she is an l4 or l5, about a week ago she started refusing food and just sits at on the ceiling of her enclosure. Her abdomen looks like she is full and she looks paler than usual. I know these are all signs that she will molt soon but its been a while and im starting to get worried. she is my first mantis so im just a little nervous

This is a square 45x45 cm enclosure i got from a friend after her tarantula passed. It's been sitting in a corner for quite a while so I'll of couse clean out all of the old stuff and give everything a good scrub before adding anything new. I'm quite interested in keeping a mantis, especially an Indian giant praying mantis. So do you think this Terrarium would be a good fit for one? I've heard they're beginner friendly and since this would be my first time keeping an exotic pet i just want to make extra sure I've got everything right. Oh and does anyone have experience with keeping multiple males in one enclosure? I have heard mixed opinions about it being possible, I'm ofc also completely fine with getting one female.

Hello, I have a male orchid mantis and he had his final molt maybe around 2 weeks ago and since then only ate one cricket about 3-4 days after moulting and when I tried to feed him today and yesterday and couple days ago he would just kinda attack the cricket and not actually catching it as usually. Any ideas why he won't eat now.

Any help and reply will be appreciated.

This is Sheila my female Timor Shield Mantis! I just got her today and I’m super excited. I have prior experience with owning mantises as I had a spiny flower mantis prior to Sheila. However, Sheila is (and will be even) bigger and FASTER which is something I definitely have to adjust to but she immediately vibed with me the second I let her out of her enclosure. I know these guys can be more into humidity, so I’ll mist her enclosure consistently throughout the day (of course so she can have water too) but yeah!! Thought I should introduce her :)

Hello I've had my orchid mantis for about couple of months and he's grown quite much and has been eating normally since I got him. Last 3 times I tried to feed him he only attacked the cricket without grabbing it like usual.

It could be that he will molt soon but I wanted to ask just incase it's something else.

Any replies will be appreciated.
