The taste aesthetic of the grasshopper is similar to that of humans!
Basic people eat what grasshoppers eat, they eat very miscellaneous, generally eat vegetables, green onions and white cabbage, etc., of course, raw, cooked food can also be eaten but it is not recommended to give, maybe some additives will be harmful to grasshoppers, they prefer meat food, such as grasshoppers, as long as don't feed too dry, easy to constipation, don't be too thin, will diarrhea Give two or three drops of water every few days.
The least recommended foods are peaches and watermelon.
The best way is to catch one or two small grasshoppers every two days, which is the most nutritious and the amount is appropriate. If the landlord is lazy,,, just cut the vegetables into pieces and put them in, and change them every two or three days.
It is not recommended to put it in a small cage when I buy it I usually put it in a plastic bucket with holes, that is, a large inside for melon seeds, or an iron cage Because when it is ripe with you (4 or 5 days), you can take it out and let it go for observation, which is also quite interesting. The way to take it, don't pinch the piece near the neck, it will make the grasshopper very nervous and aggressive, the left hand and right hand slowly wrap it up from the bottom, touch its six legs, it will be lifted up and put in your hand, safer than pinching.
Wash your hands before holding them in your hands, the first is to disinfect them, and the second is that if you have the smell of food on your hands, it may bite.

How do grasshoppers survive the winter, for grasshopper fans, they all know that raising grasshoppers is a lot of hard work, because raising grasshoppers also has to go through the breeding of the east, especially pay attention to the breeding of grasshoppers in winter, because the grasshoppers spend the winter are completely different from other pets, so how do the grasshoppers survive the winter, the following pet network will introduce you to how the grasshoppers spend the winter.
Grasshoppers are songworms, and they should also be kept warm in winter. In addition, when the temperature is between 25 and 36 degrees, the grasshopper is most active and usually sings loudly. As long as the temperature is below 25 degrees, it is easy to catch a cold.
Manifested as: loss of appetite, not eating, and eventually death.
If you have a cold, you can try to feed aspirin.
But maybe it doesn't work well, so let's take precautions and create a warm and comfortable environment for it. It is also necessary to let him bask in the sun more, strengthen his resistance, and also help him chirp and increase his lifespan.
Also, be careful not to be too greasy in your diet. There are many things that can be eaten by fruits, including foods with a lot of fat such as bread cakes. But if you eat too much greasy stuff, it is easy to get angry.
You can feed some fresh fruits and vegetables: carrots, cabbage, etc., or dried fruits such as peanuts.
are very suitable for grasshoppers. In addition, stored grasshoppers can also be used frequently.
Such insects feed the gnats and use them to enhance their physique.
The most traditional way is to put the gourd in the arms to raise, in fact, to prolong its life, to put it bluntly, is to maintain the temperature, at least 20 degrees Celsius.
Above, my method is to keep the grasshopper in their own processed small cardboard box, both shelter from the wind and have a certain warmth effect, when the heating can be close to the side of the carton close to the heating, the grasshopper itself will be close to or away from that side to choose the temperature area suitable for itself, so that it can maintain its vitality, but the most difficult thing is to come to the heating before and after these two periods, my grandma thought of the method, put the carton in a larger cardboard box, the temperature and heating of the hot water bottle sandwiched between the two cartons, It can achieve similar results as the above methods, but the disadvantage is that you have to change the hot water bottle constantly. In winter, try to expose the grasshoppers to the indoor environment as little as possible; Try to be gentle when removing or moving the gnats because their bodies have become more fragile due to aging; The food doesn't need to change much, it's the same as usual.

I remember there is a saying called "Summer insects can't talk about ice", and if you want to raise grasshoppers for the winter, do you want them to see "ice"? Speaking of grasshoppers, the first thing that comes to mind is the children of the Eight Banners, we know that after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry lived a comfortable life in Beijing, and soon lost the heroic posture of the overlord of the grassland, and "raising grasshoppers" is one of the greatest pleasures in their lives, and the people began to vote for it, and began to breed these grasshoppers for them to play, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, in short, the combat effectiveness of the children of the Eight Banners declined rapidly, and became synonymous with "idleness". became a joke in the TV Se Zheng drama, falling from a hero to the altar.
In fact, no matter what the original intention of raising the gnats is, in fact, its practical significance is not large, there is a suspicion of encouraging people to be idle, it is really not worth admiring, in a sense, just like cockfighting, dog fighting, this kind of breeding seems to have some technical content, in fact, it is to build an environment suitable for its life, by understanding its living habits, in fact, there are many similar information on the Internet, there is no need to specifically introduce, if it is a cultural heritage, in fact, this heritage can be considered to be abandoned, Because that's the "dross" part of it.
Grasshopper in nature, its positive role is not much, the significance of raising is not much, spend such energy, if used for people to play, its negative impact is too great, if as a biological chain of food, its cost is too high, it is not worth it, so the line of raising grasshoppers can be abandoned, as a witness of the times, the country still has a lot of intangible cultural heritage projects facing the loss, compared with raising grasshoppers, more need to protect and inherit, interested people can study and publicize.
If there is no one to buy upstream, I believe that no one will raise, especially those who come for profit, they do not like to raise grasshoppers, but driven by interests. Welcome to leave a message, thank you!
