Try bits of raw fish, mussels and shrimp that you can buy at the grocery store.

thanks for that.I think my mantis(the wife named him Hanibal) is in for a pretty big surprise cause 1 of the smaller hermits walked in front of his hole and at the same time he came out.well he hid so fast that Hanibal never saw him just this nice little shell that he could use for decoration in his hole. dont think hes left much room in there for a roommate so maybe this is his time to shine.CLINT

Keep snails and crabs in the tank with the mantis as often as possible. Sometimes it takes awhile before the mantis kills anything, but if there's nothing for it to punch at, it might lose it's punching claws ("dactyls"). They take awhile to regrow.

If you've been feeding him very regularly, he may not be hungry. Mine disappears for days at a time. Sounds normal.
