dead leaf mantids biting off their anttena

Idznak Jan 28, 2005 11:00 PM

Hey,

When i decide to put my desiccata in a large cage, i put a buch of stick in their cage and sprayed then then had the heat lamp on. After an hour, i saw ALOT of their antenna missing and they keep cleaning their legs non-stop. What would cause this??!! they've never done this before! I'm really upset and really need help.

Thanks,
Joe

Heat lamps are about as good for mantids as the bottom of a shoe. Be careful.
