Yep they do get well fed! Cheers for the info.

I dont over feed them though as they have a tendency to gorge.

Not sure if its true but I have been told they can act like mantids and eat until they split so it's probably best Laughing

There are two 'variations' about that I know of but apart from one getting a bit bigger than the other I am not up on the differences.

dunno about either of those facts lol

mantids dont burst thats a bit of an urban legend, and the emps we breed at my zoo dont tend to eat so much, lots of prey is left alive and untouched.
