Raising praying mantis?

[Panthergirl11]

Just wondering if there was a good link someone could show me about raising baby mantids. I was thinking about getting an egg case of mantids from osh and raise them for my chams.

You'll want to start them out on fruit flies. Pinheads will tend to hang out at the bottom. Baby mantis tend to climb to top and hang out. Fruit flies crawl all around and are much more likely to catch a babies attention. You can see pictures of how I hatch and raise them on my facebook page: cricket crack, link is below.
