Mantids are some of the most difficult invertebrates to rear.
Even when raising just a few of them, you have to check their condition almost daily. As with rearing any captive animal, the goal is to most closely mimic the animal s native habitat and environmental conditions. There are only a few critical factors for successfully raising mantids, and disregarding even one of these for just a few days may result in death. For habitats , I use vials of various sizes. Ideally, you will use one that is 3X the height of a mantid, and 2X as wide.
