Mantis and Cucumber

[ryano]

I have a G. ternatensis and want to know if I put a small cucumber in with him to clean the substrate would the mantis most likely attack it? I seen the video from Dr. Roy with the bluering and mantis, and wonder if the mantis did attack the cucumber would it die from the cucumbers toxins?

It would probably be fine until the cucumber got too close to the mantis' burrow.

I wouldn't risk it.

i personally doubt it, but i have no experience....if you did it just keep a close eye and see if the tern is interested
