what to feed baby manti

[reptiguy123]

I just got a little group of baby manti, about as long as my fingernail. Anyway, I think you can guess from the title what this thread is about. Thanks in advance!

Maggots, prekilled crickets, prekilled mealworms, pinhead crickets, wingless fruitflies... etc. etc.

So they don't need a living animal to trigger their eating? Does it matter how big the cricket is, as long as it's dead? I just got some huge crix the other day.

One more question: can I keep six praying manti together without fatal results?

deffinately not, they are completely cannibalistic.

Even as babies? Ok. Well, I guess I'll be hitting the sack now.
