Well it actually looks as if I might have been a bit optimistic, I can already see three mantids that will die within the day. They weren't able to catch any food for their first meal. Two of 8 (yes eight now, after discovering a single mantid in the other container where both eggsacks are now placed) look extremely good. If any survive I'd put my money on one of these two, specifically one of them, who after I put insects in caught one, ate it, caught one, then as he held that one caught another large one. He dropped the smaller one he was eating, though he didn't finish the large insect which was a bit more then he could eat at once.
Also thank you facebook. The reason why soon to come, once I'm sure, and have established communication.
