Grasshoppers.

[BeccaC]

My Cham loves grasshoppers. Is there any breeders on here that sells?

They're illegal, but if you look hard I'm sure you can find someon... why don't you try breeding them?

 

[BeccaC]

Thank you. I wasn’t aware. I wish I could but I don’t have spare time to breed and feeders right now.

Np. Just so you know, some feeders are extremely simple... grasshoppers depends on the species, but some roaches can literally go untouched for weeks and do fine. You may know this, but just throwing it out there.

That’s awesome! Now I just wish I could find some breeders and start ordering.
Just throwing that out there. I’d buy for sure.

I'll have some ready in a few months. I never bothered with Melanoplus species since I've been too lazy to bother with diapausing eggs, but I've collected some since the announcement and have some eggs cooking.
