I just noticed my mantis' claw is broken! It doesn't look too bad, it's just the pointy tip that is snapped off. The 'foot' part is still intact and she is still using her claw. In fact she is eating right now and even grabbed the worm with that claw. I am not sure but I think I must have accidentally broken it earlier today when I was feeding her! She grabbed the metal forceps but I didn't realize it right away and I let them open up with her claw wrapped around them. I don't imagine there is much I can do about it, I just hope it doesn't get infected or anything.

It should be fine. She will clean it up and move on. A minor break like that shouldn't affect her in the least.

Your poor finger. That mantis was lucky she wasn't squashed. Tell her Auntie Krissim says, "No more love bites."
