my mantis has stopped accepting food for the last 4 days or so and will just push it out of his hole if i try to feed him.
he sometimes acts like he is sick (dazed or not paying attention) but then 30 min later he is acting normal?
he is also alot more cautious.
he hasnt blocked up his tunnel but he doesnt peer out as much either?
he wont strike if i put my feeding stick near his tunnel entrance like normal either but just backs away real quick into his tunnels?

i think he might be molting?
has anyones mantis done this before a molt?
 
Sounds similar to the way mine used to act during a molt. Mine used to also close the door with some rubble so I couldn't bug him:)

Q!!!
