:rolleyes: Sorry, that was a joke ... It's just that my mantis was VERY hardy - he may have not even needed the water...:D

Stomatopods can go a very long time without eating. O. scyllarus can last easily two weeks without eating. Species like Lysiosquillina can go even longer - up to a couple of months.

very tough! i have been housing sitting for my girlfreinds father and my mantis has had a 2 week crash diet. its consists of nothing to eat for 2 weeks. i was very surprised that the little clown wasnt gobbled up but i guess they can go without for a long time!
