He hasn't smashed up my LR but he uses everything available to build his little cave, it's quite interesting.
How often do you feed him? Any special thing I should know about with a peacock? |
I feed him 3-4 times per week. Food is mostly silversides and freshwater mussels. He also really likes fiddler crabs from the pet store, they are expensive just for food but they are a little more challenging.
Peacocks are prone to shell rot if your lighting is too bright so be careful and keep your light to a minimum. Also be very careful with household cleaners around the tank all mantises are super sensitive to voc's. I killed a little green smasher I had in a tank outside my master bathroom after cleaning the floor with a commercial bathroom cleaner. Ideally you should only use vinegar and water as cleaner around the tank.
