The Easiest Way to Feed and Water a Praying Mantis Pet 

I just caught a little brown one in the backyard. The kids and I are so excited. Thank you for this great video.

I fed my two inch long green male mantis a spider almost the same size as the mantis first i thought the mantis might die cause i saw the spider making silk the mantis might get trapped but tje skills of a mantis never fails

Thank you for sharing!

Awesome info! Thanks! Any plans on making the mantis training videos?

I am here because I'm in Northwest Montana my snowshoe cats just found one tonight around 9:30 p.m. they are not native to this area. I walk a lot never seen one also know a lot about bugs and no they don't live in Montana I have one just just uploaded a video of it trying to figure out what I need to do to feed it there's a fly inside of its container and I just put a little bit of water obviously they blend into the surroundings because everything is like dry fields and he looks exactly like dry grass. I'm just fascinated thank you I'll probably be watching a lot more because I would like to learn how to actually keep this guy or girl it's probably a girl it is full grown it has wings they're very big and long but I can't tell you I've only watched this video I'm going to watch some more. 🕯️👍🕯️

The ones in ga. Not in captivity seem to like cabbage is that normal for like crickets like potatoes

I buy them and unleash them in my hibiscus plants they keep off all the bugs and look pretty cool chilling around the garden.

I'm raising Mediterranean Mantids from birth. A surprising number of them are dying. I think the problem may be their inability to digest food. One just ate a fly for more than an hour and its abdomen doesn't seem to show any food in it. It's like it's not fully swallowing the fly and can't finish eating it, as if it's like a human being trying to eat a hamburger with no liquid to wash it down. I'm in Las Vegas. They've survived 120 degrees and months without rain. I was told that they didn't need to drink any water because they got enough from their food, so I haven't been giving them any water. They don't seem to be molting as often as I had expected. Could lack of water explain their difficulty molting and swallowing?

iam keeping one vietnam mantis, love you video

I named my mantis Bento

Mis info

Had 3 egg sacks hatch in the past 2 weeks. Keep about 200 in a tank and released the rest in my bonsai garden

SO.... I just caught a baby praying mantis, he's extremely tiny and brown with the long antennas and everything. BUT IT CAN FLY. It has wings!! Can someone please explain how this is scientifically possible? I had a praying mantis before who was bigger but couldn't fly, only jump. How?

My cat injured a praying Mantis... and i left it outside but I think it can't walk anymore/. How can I care for it to heal it?

It's winter no flowers

Where do you source your flowers? Do you grow them or do you just buy them from the store

I caught an adult mantis

I caught a big praying mantis, it came in with my indoor plant,I have feeding it cooked shrimp 🍤..I put the shrimp on a toothpick and wiggle it like an insects..I never gave any water..it got water from the juicy shrimp.

best pets for cannabis growers XD

Hi, 1 of my garden pets, mantis has a broken paw. I watched her trying to catch flies but she can't. I am worried she will starve. Can I feed her a different way?

Underrated

What if the water droplets dry out after a day? Do I have to mist again?

my 4 month mantis has not eaten after molt... suggest pls

Could I just damp a price of paper towel and put that in the inclosure?

What water can it drink if i don't have water from plants

I caught one from the wild. I am feeding it a lemon.

This was rated thumbs down because you didnt talk about how many times a dayand how much to feed them. And misting them more often is actually important for the humidity so that they can molt. Biggest threats and most common deaths are from dehydration and bad molting.
