) They are just like mini mantids! It never dawned on me to use them as feeders.... hhhmmmm. I am curious as well.
I bet they were man!,i once had some bannana Roaches...the chams REALLY loved them so much,they nearly took my fingers off when i got them out!
I love katydids!! (well, haven't tried them personally, but ....
They come out in the early-mid fall here and my cats used to catch them outside and bring them into the house and play with them.
Treelions: did you get these as a farm raised feeder?
They are feeding well on buddleia,and i can find the plant growing everywhere,so its great!
Hello,
Yes i just got them,from a guy that keeps panthers also,he has been breeding them for awhile.
I have 17 to start with
There grow to about 4 inches apparently.
The hind legs are a bit sharp on the adults but i'll snip them off before feeding
Mine are the Giant Florida katydid,so maybe you can use them too
Need to build up the numbers now!!
) cricket keeper with paper towel substate and paper towel under the lid (hard to explain) and two cups with covers that have two holes so I can put the host plant clippings in the water.
I keep mine outside but I have heard them.
