Locusts

Hi,

I was wondering if it's ok to use Locusts as the main diet rather than cricket's. My Yemen showes little interest in the crickets but as soon as I put the locusts in his viv he immediately goes hunting

do you mean grasshoppers? locusts are those scary swarms of grasshopper morphs u see in the bible.lol.

how are u obtaining these grasshoppers? field plankton? clean field?

but as long as their gutloaded dusted, and clean of chemicals, i dont see anything wrong with them.

but WC insects have a greater risk of transmitting parasites and other unpleasantries, so good luck.

Locusts are grass hoppers but sold here in the UK as locusts. The ones I use are CB i.e. brought from shops or the internet.

Locusts seem more intertaining and challenging for my cham to hunt compared to crickets
