| I dont know about all mantids, but you can feed crickets to many mantid species. Its only allowed to sell feeder animals on ebay. Thats why people write that they are sold as feeder animals  Scorps and t's are not allowed to sell. | |

| it has been observed among mantid keepers that feeding them crickets, especially black ones, causes the mantids to go weird and die. congrats on the admin status bex!  | |
