I got my N. wennerae going on 2 weeks ago and last weekend he killed and ate a shore crab without a problem. I work a lot of hours during the week so I don't get to see him all that much 'cause he's usually in his den in the morning and at night. So about an hour ago I put another shore crab in the tank for him but when he came out to get it he was acting oddly. He gave 2 weak hits, the crab ran away, the mantis became uninterested and kept rolling over and acting almost "drunk." He is also not at all startled by anything moving in the tank right next to him. All my parameters are optimal, I just got done checking them.
I've seen video's of this species being very active, running around and what not but mine is always in his den and rarely comes out to walk around. Is this normal behavior? I have to admit I'm worried for the little guy.
Help me out here!
