Hi,
It'll be fine in a plastic pint cup or half pint cup with a bit of netting over the top and some damp kitchen towel in the bottom. Put a stick in there for it to hang from and it's ideal

A plastic drinking cup is big enough * pint pot*, put some kitchen roll in the bottom. She will do fine till she grows this big
 then you will need bigger....a few of my crew...    www.ukmantisforums.co.uk
