Re: Mantis lost its leg
Not sure if it is the same with mantis', but with stick insects it is not uncommon for them to not eat anything straight after a moult - they need to rest and let their skin dry and "harden" in the air which takes a while. I know some stick insects like to eat the shed skin - has you mantis done this? If so, it's probably still a bit full.
Keep trying it with food, but my guess is your mantis will eat when it is hungry  keep us updated!
