Hello!! I received an i2 - i3 giant asian mantis 2 days ago (my first) And it has not eaten once yet. It was hanging upside down for almost 24 hours when it first went into the enclosure and i assumed it was preparing to molt but today it has been very mobile,, walking around the bottom the sides the foliage. I have tried placing the food infront of it, holding tongs with the food infront of it, putting it into a smaller place and doing the exact same things, has not seemed to eat at all. I have d hydei fruitflies , which almost every source directed me to those, im not sure if the ones I got were bad or what is really happening :O

are there alternative foods i can try for a nymph like this or?

i recieved my (i2-i3 mantis from mantis universe) in the mail yesterday and it was shipping for like a day its abdomen isnt Really puffed out so i doubt its mot full but it barely ate and its been hanging for close ro 12+ hours now so is it already molting? This is my first mantis so im afraid of over/under feeding it

Also i didnt think of this before i got it but my enclsosure its in opens from the top so now im a bit nervous opening it would ruin its molting progress >.< !
