But yeah, Mantis' aren't very hard to care for. When theyr little they eat fruit flies which can be annoying, and they will happily eat their brothers and sisters. But, really its not very different from a T. They just like to climb, once they grow bigger, eat crickets, and mists of water. My Ripley was easy, smart though! She would know when I was going to lift off a part of the lid of her enclosure to put crickets in, she would watch me, act slow and not interested, then soon as I cracked it open, run full speed at me. Lol. They are characters. Once you get them past their itty bitty baby stage its not hard, but theyr very fragile as hatchlings.</p></blockquote><p></p>
