i think i want a n. wennerae but i dont know what i can feed it. i live in colorado, whitch is as far away from a ocean as u can get... well almost:) my point is, can i feed a smasher. dead shrimp form a deli like albertsons, even though thats soft, spearer food, or would it sell whole shrimp? are those ok? i dont have a supply of snails to feed and i dont think my lfs sells feeder shrimp. would feeding a frozen shrimp(shell-less)help w/ its "exercise" any opinions would be good and suggestions would make me happy:)

thanks,

Wennerae are small mantis...an entire supermarket shrimp would be a LOT for them to handle! I have one and she happily eats flake food meant for carnivorous marine fish. They can be picky eaters if they aren't used to a food item, and they should have meaty food, but other than that, they aren't hard to feed. Hunger is a good motivator for getting a mantis to eat something more convenient for the aquarist.
 
hmm frozen like rock solid?? I dunno if it would try to crack it or not, I would say feed the shrimp, and once in a while toss in a hermit or snail for exersize...you can feed baby crawfish, The n. wennerae is very small so I dunno if he could handle a crawfish.... just feed him shrimp and toss in a shelled critter once in a blue moon
