I'm sorry, but what is an 'ooth?' Even google failed me on that one.
My first pet mantis

I added mantis to the search parameters (mantis ooth) and got quite a lot of results. This one might help: http://arachnoboards.com/threads/what-is-a-mantis-ooth.216463/
Sorry, ooth is short for oothica, its the egg package that mantids lay
I've had to Google quite a few words after reading this thread. It's been a learning experience!
Congrats, Obsidian, on your new arrivals (they are adorable!) and thanks for all the photos shared - I've enjoyed seeing all the creatures!

Prickly is looking wonderful. Aren't the Prickly manti cute? Thankyou for the pic update
How is your girl?
My cham shed yesterday, a little more color, but I do believe it is Freddie not Fredrika
but will probably need to wait 1 more shed, but I can just see a bump or mommy wants to see one 
Ate 12 bottle flies today. We buy them for our Mantis

I love Mantis, as long as they are not coming after my hummingbirds. When they do I make it my business to get involved.
LOL Cmzaha that little emoji is hilarious.

I know it is an adorable emoji, that I cannot take credit for. It is one of the forum emojis in the second tab of new smileys. A large Mantis can kill and eat a small hummingbird. My daughter had a Giant African Mantis and she was voracious with her appetite.
But spiders need love too
He is looking great. How are the Ghosties? I think I remember you mentioning your daughter had a ghostie ooth, or I might be wrong. I love the Prickly. Keeping my fingers crossed the wing molt goes well.
This one is looking great too. I really miss mine, but do have Freddie to keep me busy and he is a fly fanatic. Where do you get your flies? I get mine from Pan Terra Pets
I hope the molts go well too. Looks like I have a pair of spinies so I'll probably try and breed them.
Bad luck with the ghosts, only three babies survived. One ooth didn't hatch at all. The survivers are doing well though.
I'm not sure where the flies come from. DD buys pupae someplace online. I didn't normally feed them but she forgot to refrigerate the last batch and they all hatched in a day.
I've never seen a cham eat flies, I bet it's neat to see. I miss having a reptile.
My mom's uromastyx layed eggs but its not looking good. It was her first clutch and she didn't lay in the box. If by some chance they hatch, I'll probably take one.

I have never had a cham eat flies like this little guy. All my previous chams loved Fat Butter and Wax Worms, and Freddie hates them, but that may change when he gets older. It is a bummer about the Ghosties I would have love to have purchased one from you
I too was bummed, I really wanted to try a community. Hopefully DD will try and breed.
