newborn mantis nymphs

[Leonidas]

hello!!!
so I found an egg-case and I kept it in 28 C and in less than 3 weeks it hatched! So, the babies are minute and I keep them in three boxes (probably 10 in each box). What can I feed them with?I will try to order some fruitflies and crickets but now what I can find is some very small ants(a bit smaller than the mantids) and some spiderlings. Also I may find some baby roaches...Can I feed them with the little ants?
Thanks,
Leo

Any kind of small critters that can't fight back

Be sure to make sure they have food available at all times or they will eat each other in no time

small ants will work

just mist the substrate and tear crickets or roaches up up and feed them little chunks with a needle one at a time....
