I have had quite a few as pets, I have one right now and I have fed them fruit up until they are a few weeks old. Then I also feed them live bugs and fruit. They eat more fruit than they do insects, as far as I can see. My current pet barely eats insects at all, they like bannannas, apples, especially Oranges, ect.

Praying Mantis babies eat small bugs, that are alive. You could use aphids, small flys, fruitflys. If it helps, hold the insect with tweezers in front of the mantis. Make sure the babies have water within 12 hours after they have hacthed, or they WILL die, no matter what. Try using a damp cloth or sponge. Also, if you have more than one Mantis baby, they will probably eat each other if they are not well fed.
