A feeding issue

I literally just got my mantis 2 days ago but I guess I'm stressing out. I knew it wouldn't eat on the first day it came so I left it alone in the terrarium for the whole day, but today I bought some hatching crickets for it, mostly because I couldn't find anything else but I read they're good too? It's now been a couple hours and it hasn't even tried to eat. I'm just worried because it looks skinny and I know it was in travel for 2 days before it was delivered to me, so today would be its 4th day without food. Any tips on what I could do? I also ordered fruit flies for it but they'll probably be here by Tuesday.

I know I should probably wait and see what happens but I'm freaking out it's my first pet like this and I already adore it so much.

New mantis!!

Hallo I just got this guy today and wanted to share 😁 This is my first ever mantis so I went with a ghost mantis, of course. It's actually way more adventurous and active than I expected it to be, so cool!!
