I new to your chsnnel

My fish loved eating the snail eggs.

I have a friend that’s looking to get one and she just got a 20 gallon. Would that be okay for an adult female? She wants to live plant the tank. Dimensions are 30” by 12” by 13”. Would love your opinion. It’s top opening and full mess on top :) Edit: it doesn’t have cross ventilation though so I guess not. Do you have any suggestions of products in the US?

Well I think I no the best recipe baby food fruit apple and pear and porridge oats in a blender with hot water cool that’s it. You’ll have way too many fruit flies.

Weird how you're gendering an animal that literally doesn't have a binary sex/gender.

Hi Aimee have you stopped with you channel? I’m new to the hobby and have found all your videos so helpful and can’t find you on instagram now and no recent content, can we convince you to come back!!

thats a rare orchid mantis! wow, i only have a common male praying mantis and thats the only pet i have :(

As a person that owns about 6 different mantid species yea your video is very informative but I disagree with the whole first 1-7 minutes of impulse buying, let people explore and find out yk, ofc research is needed but they way your making it seemed flawed

Awesome very informative thanks.

What can you tell us about breeding wild isopods and introducing to a bioactive reptile enclosure? What generation is safe to introduce to your reptile enclosure? When do you remove adults (separate generations) in your isopod enclosure?

Hunni, my daughter is getting some of the African snails, so I'm doing research on them too, can I ask how long it took for them to dry when you made them, and best place to put them to dry?

😅 coco dust fiber isnt that BAD for isopods?

I’m planning on making a culture of these and feeding any dead or ill grubs/ beetles. I’m ok with live feeding as enrichment for my animals (I bought these as feeders for my big cichlids)

Can a mantis bite you?

Thankyou so much for this video - after keeping jumping spiders for ages I thought I'd go for a mantis. I got my first juvenile giant asian mantis this week along with a leaf decoration from the same place which was so much bigger than I expected. I put it in thinking it would provide alot to climb on but I'm so pleased I watched this I'm taking it out to give it more space to molt.

Hiya hope your well,your snails are beautiful,i have 4 rescues,do i keep heatmat on 24 hours a day ? Thankyou,they only babies id say 3 months old and in tiny set ups thanks x

Hi i was wondering how u managed to get ur gals to eat the protein food i ordered different flavours from a supplier on Etsy and our GAL slimer recoils in absolute horror when i try him! No matter what flavour i try will not touch it under any condition iv tried it different textures iv even tried a tiny bit just dry sprinkled on some of his favourite sweet potato but literally left the feeding area straight away!any tips would be much appreciated…..Tnx Sarah

YES! Somebody else that says flutefry cultures 😆 I didn't actually realise I wasn't subbed to you before. Good thing you reminded me to look at the start of this video lol

Just found your video. Looks great. How did the tank turn out? I didn’t see an updated video on your page.

I want to have some of these animals. However, my family just don't see them as pets. If it doesn't have four legs, fur or barks or meows then it's not a pet.

Thank you!! This was so helpful! Really made me properly realise the importance of good ventilation.

If it helps also when you want to seal the air gaps on lids of tubs use some foam tape on rim of the tub to.makes putting lids on abit stiff for a while but definitely helps keep escapees in abit better especially merulanella's 😃

Got a bug on your face...

My maggots come from the tackle shop, by far the cheapest way per maggot/or caster, but I do end up with way too many! I swing by pets at home for wax worms because they don't change them out as often as the good shops, so quite often you can end up with moths in the tub, and plenty waiting to hatch out, and a discount... which the mantids love! (not the discount, I don't think they care about that) the other thing I feed a lot is locust, they absolutely love them, and if you give them a bigger tub, and as long as you feed them fresh veggies and give them a drink they last a really long time, and can even start breeding.

The amount of animal abuse on Tik Tok is staggering.

do they hide often?

Really miss your videos. Do you still keep Mantis?

can i use wild fruit flys that come in my house for fruit ?

Just started keeping these this year. I found them at my local pet shop and got them as feeders for my tarantulas until I realised they become beautiful beetles. I get 10 large grubs for £6 which is a bargain. I have 40 plus beetles now and love em. Hopefully they’ve mated and will continue the cycle x

Don't give feedback!

Convinced me to get some

I always think that snail and slug faces look like kitten faces! I have had Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches for sevral years, and I recently got Vietnamese stick insects.

I use coffee grounds and tea from my reusable "teabag" for substrate, as well as unbleached cardboard from my egg cartons. My isopods are exploding with babies! They love to eat my veggie trimmings from my kitchen as well as some cat crunchies when I notice a baby boom.

Beautiful

i want to get a ghost mantis so I am researching.

Hmmm, so my spare 10gal tank probably wouldnt be a good option. I can always put a screen in to split it in half but it wont hage any cross ventilation. And as far as the planted tank idea sounds like some rocks with mosses and stuff like that would be good as it wouldnt create issues with molting and do well beings misted all the time maybe even get away with a small fern type of plant 🤔🤔. Very informative thank you

new sub

I have an Ochid Mantis named Jessica at my shop. The customers love her.

hope all are well "post" pandemic too

You growing mushrooms too?

Great stuff ,very interesting .

I could have done without the 8 minute rant, but after that was over there was a lot of very good information in this video! Thank you for such a detailed tutorial of these beautiful little bugs!

Amazing video some great looking! Love the violin mantis the company seems great and prices are amazing trying to find someone in USA that has as good selection and pricing but having trouble

Do you still have them?

YOU OUR JUST SO BEAUTIFUL THANKS FOR BEING SO INFORMATIVE GOT MY 1ST GHOST MANTIS I HAD NO IDEA NEED HEAT DURING THE WINTER

Great video, i'm about to get a pair of Ovum, very excited about it!

I used to get met with “do your own research” or “why would you ask facebook, Google it” every time I asked a question in an aquarium group on Facebook. I was in the middle of research on Pea Puffers but was met with a ton of conflicting information and wanted some information from first hand experience. I ended up successfully keeping them but I never asked another question in an aquarium group. A few years later, I saw post in the same group saying the hobby is dying. I’m a firm believer that talking with people that have experience with the animal/hobby is a vital part of any research. Now, with more information than ever on the internet, I believe it’s even more necessary!! Thank you for this video. I hope to expand into the Mantis keeping hobby soon. I just have a lot more questions to answer 😅

Hey, love the video. I'm new to the hobby of isopods and inverts. I'm really into tarantulas, which introduced me to Dubia, and that introduced me to isopods. This hobby is awesome. Thanks for the video. EDIT: Oh, would love to see an update video. If you still make videos.
