Current Events > my mantis Lola has been dying slowly all day today

(+) Yeah! (+)

Today she fell to the bottom of the cage and can't stand up after several weeks of losing strength and the ability to climb walls. She is very old for a mantis at over 15 months.

I saw her on the floor this morning and thought she was dead, but she moves slightly every now and then or when I blow on her and has pulled herself forward about an inch over the day.

:[

I don't like seeing her die so slowly and kind of wish I could just feed her to another animal or something.

RIP Lola

can you not give a mercy kill?

I could drop something heavy on her or put her in the freezer I guess. Putting her in the freezer seems harsh, and IDK if I can squash her.

Here are some clips of her when she was younger

Eat her head.
It is only fair.

But RIP nontheless.
Press F to pay respects.

Do something dude. It shouldn't have to live like that.

Well this is depressing

ok. I'll put her in the freezer. Mantises die in less than a minute in freezers because their bodies are so small

I wish it were daytime so I could give her to my pet store to feed to a lizard or something.
