Praying Mantis help

I have newly hatched praying mantis and I placed fruit flies in with them and they do not appear to be eating.. Anyone have any tips on what I should be doing different? They hatched yesterday and if they don't start by tomorrow I think I am going to have to let them go so they don't all die...

Thank you!

They normally don't start eating until about two days after they hatch. Just like baby chameleons. ;)
 
Don't you worry. They'll start eating...EACH OTHER! :eek: Seriously, it does take a day or two for them to start eating. Good luck! You'll be a very busy person very shortly! :)
