How to keep a mantis (Weird and Wonderful Pets Episode 2 of 15)

[@micahhuge1474]

Mantids do drink. Mine runs to the side of the tank everyday to get water

[@EXTERMINADORJAVIER]

Normaly when a mantis activily drinks from the drops and if it happens every day, it is because it doesn't get enough food from which they can retrieve water.

[@splash5481]

Mine is always hanging on the ceiling and is not eating epanything i thought it was molting but its been 3 days and i still see no skin and no sign of it eating plz help

[@EXTERMINADORJAVIER]

@@splash5481 I will check the humidity and temperature depending on which kind of praying mantis you own. When molting the humidity should be around 60% and more and the temperature around 27C° or higher to stimulate the praying mantis. If everything fits, I would keep waiting and observing its behaviour.

@@splash5481 mine did it so much that it broke it's abdomen so I recommend you stop luckly mine Heald in the next molt

Wonderful photography and a wonderful introduction to Mantises. Thank you for creating this series.

[@brennencanfield4856]

Valerie Melanson Do some more research becaouse some stuff is fals.

[@rachealsilburn901]

@Brennen...oh yea smart guy? He’s done a great job in providing an overview of this creature. How about learn how to spell before providing negative input.

[@helmi4711]

@@rachealsilburn901 it probably isn't supposed to be negative comment, if someone would get mantis its important to do more research because all the things in this video are not true

[@LeoVanHaagen]

if I was a mantis, doing my very best to stay camouflaged, I'd be really pissed off at this guy for just pointing me out on camera.

[@TheLotek1]

Nice vid. Mantids do drink from droplets. Pet store crickets are not recommended. Feed them roaches, worms, & flies.

[@jonathonp1098]

Mine drinks from droplets.

[@naeff002]

They do drink. It’s even important to spray them for drinking, it will expand there lifespan. What can be handy for species where males are way earlier adult and often already dead before the female becomes adult.

[@MAN-fh5ol]

How often can you feed them mealworms

[@TheLotek1]

@@MAN-fh5ol depends on sizes. Anyway, if you pay attention, you can see the abdomen expand a bit.

[@Liaml12v]

How about earth worms

[@brennencanfield4856]

I love how he calls a ghost mantis and a wondering violine mantis a dead leaf mantis! I get annoyed by those types of things.

[@lizdyson3627]

I've just bought my first mantis. I love it

[@URBANDRAGON999]

I was such an idiot when I was stationed in South Korea. I found a mantis and kept him as a pet in a shoe box. But I forgot to put holes in the top 🤦🏾‍♂️

"Mantises don't drink." No, Mantids DO drink. Anyone who keeps mantids knows this.

[@helmi4711]

I dont even have a mantis and I know that lmao so how the guy didn't know

[@nottruffle]

As a mantis collector, this is true

[@prismoth]

i dont own a mantis, but yes they do drink

[@prismoth]

update: had one fora week and then it died of old age

[@shadowaxolotl4006]

I wanted instructions on keeping mantis not a documentary but it good tho

[@Horse4738]

This was very educational and very well put together! I just acquired a Chinese mantis at a reptile expo last week and she's absolutely fascinating and stunning, I can't wait to watch her grow! Thank you so much for the interesting info!

[@MadMetalMidget]

Bit late but hope you had other sources of info. Mantis need water. Thirsty babies

[@nozomifujiwarstar1563]

Wow he didn’t hesitate at all when she was all like ok

[@MaliciousMollusc]

I love the mini Documentaries before the care video.

[@rayknn]

Mantids don't drink?? They do drink. They drink the water from droplets of water. Misting 1 or 2 times a week is on the low side. I'd say like 5 times a week.

[@mckennadyer3728]

@Dino Craft if you have an L1- L3 mantis be careful spraying everyday because they can drown in droplets if they are small and the droplets build up but good luck with your new mantis!!

[@mckennadyer3728]

@Dino Craft im so happy for you!! im sorry about the wings though, at least he cant fly away from you aha

[@lanebutler9370]

They will drink right off the glass or sticks. I've seen it. I've got over 200

[@lizdyson3627]

Is an exoterra invert starter kit to large for a mantis.

[@Della_B]

Wait.. It's really safe to pet mantis? Are they gonna fight or what?

[@sxvgrxy]

Della Miarry it’s completely safe to hold a mantis. Just be very gentle.

[@nottruffle]

You need to be very careful. They feel like sticks. Sometimes they can fight when mad or disturbed. Please be gentle.

[@teh_supar_hackr]

Yeah but they may try to fight you. At worse it'll just feel like a minor prick, nothing harmful

[@johnn.7806]

mantids do drink and crickets can harm them if they eat them so try to give them water every day and feed them meel worms wax worms flies fruit flies cockroaches earth worms blood worms hornworms moths and if the man who made this video sees this please try to do some more research on mantids and there care Im not trying to be mean to this channel

[@CarlosMendoza-mb3di]

I never new that crickets could harm mantises . I used to feed the ones I had crickets quite often. Is it that the crickets are a bad diet or is it because they can be aggressive ?

[@mckennadyer3728]

@@CarlosMendoza-mb3di mantids cannot digest crickets very well so i wouldnt make them your mantises' core diet but every once inna while, like as a treat, should be okay, but very rarely they should be fed.

[@Nina_Sophia]

@@CarlosMendoza-mb3di i also heard that crickets from pet shops can carry some type of disease/fungus that can kill mantids. It is unsafe to feed them to other insects or they could die.

[@starzanhorse4758]

mine licked honey, also liked raw chicken and they are very thirsty when hatching

[@ScotchIrishHoundsman]

Very cool video. It’s just crazy to me how people see these as adaptations and don’t think of how amazingly designed designed they are. God is amazing!

[@slade01gaming59]

I came here to see if I wanted to get one but I don’t really wanna die

[@kasonfurnas4180]

Mantids do drink! I have six different ones at home right now and I have observed them all drinking. They don't drink out of a water dish but they do drink water droplets that I spray on the sides of their enclosure. It's also best not to feed mantids crickets as they are poor sources of protein. Most mantids when they are young eat fruit flies. As they get larger they can eat larger prey such as house flies or blow flies. They can and do eat roaches as long as the prey item is of an appropriate size.

[@bturner331]

Mantids do drink water... they’ll die without it, and the last 2 “dead leafs” are actually called a ghost mantis and a walking violin mantis, research your information before putting out the wrong information

[@bparks2193]

They most certainly do drink. Good video overall except for that misinformation.

[@vesselsoffire5900]

God created people to have free will to choose him or to not because he knows because he is God Almighty Creator of the universe and their billions of miles just between the moon and Earth and we think he is just this man in the sky no he is unfathomable And he chose to make us in this planet his important creation? us! to make humans with free will is not easy! making someone who you don’t force yourself upon to follow you that’s why he’s distant if he was here everyone would know and choose him because we would be scared not to! he says love is a choice you don’t choose me it’s OK you don’t have to but I’m not gonna be where you don’t want me to be I’m gonna let you choose he says. and you think Heaven what you deserve when you do wrong? but you expect heaven to be perfect and no wrong there and you expect to be in heaven when you choose wrong and expect to be right? God is completely present that’s why it’s heaven because God is there in his form and essence is there that’s why it’s beautiful that’s why it’s perfect and nothing that isn’t perfect and holy can be with God because the wages of sin is death you dont choose life therefore you dont choose God and you choose everything that isn’t life.. so you receive death. so God comes down and identifies himself to humanity Never sins and take all our sin on himself and then dies with our sin on himself but since he never sinned he cannot die because he never chose death because he litterely is Life He rises from the dead after 3 days and reverses the effects of death and sin so if you choose to rise to new life you will receive forgiveness of sins and you will be made new just as Christ wasnt bound by his flesh we wont be either. Jesus says “you must be born again” were were born of flesh but we must let our flesh die and be born of God and how do you do that give your life To Christ who is Life itself and turn away from your sins and God will forgive you of all you ever done and give you the strength to turn away from your sins since Jesus payed your fine then he told his Disciples after rising from the dead to there amazements “Go and make disciples of all nations” and so they did and thats why we have Christianity today but like all good things they are always messed with now the church is scared to Reach to people on the streets because of the homosexuality issue but guess what every world religion is against homosexuality hindu, buddhism, Jews, and islam especially islam you can get killed if u come out of the closet in alot of the islamic regions most of them im pretty sure and Muslims are murdering Christians in those areas that wont conform to Islam None of the major world religions offer secure Salvation listen to the words of Christ and you will be drawn to him because his words are written on our hearts Nothing is more important than where u spend eternity so think long and hard about it much Love and No where in the bible does it say being in church is a necessity its just good to be around fellow believers and to worship God and help others through there times of need Like Jesus said to do but Catholics and other forms of “christianity” make you do all these sacraments and offering and say if u miss “Mass” “thats a sin” they dont follow the bible really at all and they bow to statues of Jesus and thats not even what he looked like he wasnt white he was a Jew from 2000 years ago and God specifically said only to worship him and never worship idol staues but when rome took Christianity and made it blend with there Roman gods worship and pagan stuff they meshed it in and believe what the pope and the church say is over or on the same level as The word of God and thats not biblical at all you dont need church. later on find a nice bible based church and then see what u like and what lines up with scripture May God bless and Guide you love you brother🙏🏼❤️
