Rap?! Had no idea you were into that Ryan.

Anyways awesome pet you got there, I got over 60 adult true Katydids in a screen cage eating rose and blackberry leaves as I type this, it's 3:00 am lol so they're def. eating now and mating. Saw a couple pairs connecting!

Anyways, my friend Yen had an adult pair of this sp. for sale recently, if you want some more, check out the mantid forum. I was going to get them but decided not to. These guys bite hard!

...I read these were strict insectivores??? Eating a banana? Niiiice!

Yeah man I heard the same thing. I tried to get it to eat insects but it wasnt having it. We decided to try a banana and it loved it. Weird huh?

That's what I call loading the gut. I wonder how long it would take this guy to go through a fruit roll up?
