No the minority do. He’s doing it because he thinks it might be better for them, and he may be right I have nothing that backs up that its not. But I don’t have anything that backs up that it is.Thanks for the reply.
I am not sure, but from reading posts here I have the feeling that almost everyone feed vert prey before breeding. am I right?
Most breeders make sure the females are well fed before a breeding. In my case I let them eat all the roaches they want. And when they start to ignore offered items then I offer her a mate. This tends to lessen the chance the female is going to just ignore the males mating vibrations and murder the male. Seems to calm the defensive females down a lot and make them more receptive to mating instead of killing and eating.
