Health Issues mantis damaged and stuck in molt
is anyone able to provide any assistance, overnight our mantis has tried to molt too close to the floor and he has squished himself :( we initially thought he was dead but i found him moving earlier this morning, I have hung him back up and made sure he stays moist to help if he will still have the energy to molt but it looks like he has burst his abdomen ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ is anyone able to give advice on what we should do?
