Answer 1

here is a good website with information on this subject and other care requirements for a baby praying mantis  

Answer 2

A baby Praying Mantis is small, so a tank that is appropriate would probably be a 5 gallon or so. Don't over decorate it, you don't want to lose sight of it! Try to feed the Praying Mantis the smallest possible crickets. Try to find other pests in your garden that are the size of one or two ants. Try to research this issue on Yahoo or Google.

Answer 3

I had one that I kept for awhile. They do need water even if they are eating bugs.

Just give it a place to hide and attack the bug when it walks by.

After you tire of it, turn it loose where it can do its job.

Answer 4

a 10 gallon would be cool,but a little kritter cage would work also. they eat fish,like minnows, and probaly pinhead crickets.
