What is the way grasshoppers are raised?

Hello! There are four aspects that need to be paid attention to in the cultivation of grasshoppers:

First, the construction of breeding ponds.

Raising grasshoppers is divided into greenhouse ecological breeding and indoor breeding, the former technical demand is too high, the main market is to do appreciation, do not advocate everyone to start. Indoor farming is the most friendly way for novices, raising grasshoppers does not require a lot of space, and the number is more than that. Prepare some three-layer boxes, every 30 cm or so, each layer of 5-10 cm of fine sand for the grasshoppers to lay eggs, and seal them with gauze around them, which is breathable and prevents them from escaping.

Each floor reserves a place to put food and a place to prevent food, which is convenient for daily breeding, and it is more suitable for about 800-100 crickets per square meter.

2. Environmental management.

Due to its small size, the temperature requirements are relatively high, and a slightly lower temperature can easily lead to its batch death, and the daily more suitable temperature is about 25-28, and it needs to be maintained for a long time to be relatively stable. Large fluctuations in temperature will affect its normal growth. Secondly, the inside of the breeding room should be well ventilated to avoid hot and humid inside, which will greatly affect the growth of crickets, and keep there is no peculiar smell inside.

3. Spawning and introduction.

During the mating period, the grasshopper tries to let one male and one female mate alone, otherwise it may cause a fight due to the mate. The eggs of crickets are usually buried in the soil at a depth of about 4 cm, and they are laid around October every year and hatch around May of the following year. In order to be safe, farmers may need to take out the eggs and store them by themselves to ensure hatching, and the number of eggs produced by each pair is about 200-300 eggs.

Fourth, the cultivation management.

The most important point when breeding grasshoppers is the freshness of the food, crickets are very picky about food, and they generally will not eat fresh food, so farmers should pay attention to this aspect. Insects are omnivores, whether they are other small insects or vegetables and so on, they eat it, but for their health, they are generally mixed feeding, and some animals can also be fed after the fresh internal organs are crushed.

Vegetables such as carrots and cabbage can be fed, but try not to have water on the vegetables. Feeding about 2 times a day is OK, and the feeding is freshly fed.

1. Eat: Meat and vegetarian matching, mainly vegetarian, preferably carrots, each one a large amount of nails per day is enough, occasionally supplemented by bread worms.

2. Drink: You don't need to drink water, just use a wet towel to plop on the table and let him crawl, replenish water and clean the whiskers at the same time.

3. Living: The space of the grasshopper cage is narrow, which is easy to cause joint diseases, so there is more time for the grasshopper to come out for a walk.

4. Feeding the grasshoppers in winter, when it is higher than 27 to 28 degrees Celsius, the grasshoppers will begin to chirp loudly, but do not put the gourd used to raise the grasshoppers on the heating to bake, and the long-term chirping will also shorten the life of the grasshoppers.

When the ambient temperature drops below 20 degrees Celsius, around 16 degrees Celsius, the gnats stop chirping. Of course, the temperature should not be too low, and it is easy to cause the death of the gnats when it is below 0 degrees Celsius.

1. Shed farming. Shed culture includes greenhouses, arch sheds and earth heating sheds, etc., the first grasshoppers can choose to use arch sheds, construction and management is relatively easy and convenient. Grasshoppers like to grow in the leeward and sunny and dry places, when building sheds, they should avoid low-lying damp and wind outlets, and after selecting the terrain plots, plant soybeans or wheat first, so as to prepare the grasshoppers for free feeding.

2. Indoor farming.

Indoor breeding covers a small area, easy to manage, not affected by climatic conditions, can be built with cement and bricks about 80cm high, width to the length of the board or cement board shall prevail, the interval or length can be, generally three layers of the best, low waste of space, high is not easy to manage.

A layer of 10 cm thick sand is placed on top of each layer (the proportion of sand is 1; 1) In order to prepare the grasshoppers to lay eggs in the future, and then fix them to the top of the board with iron mesh or sand window-type tape cloth to form a multi-layer three-dimensional grasshopper breeding ground.

3. Grasshopper is a relatively common songworm, which has great ornamental value and feeding value. Grasshoppers are widely distributed in China, but the varieties of grasshoppers in different regions are also very different, including yellow, green and cyan; long-winged and short-winged; Some have a crisp cry, and some have a long one.

The scientific name of the grasshopper is the mantis, and our common ones are the elegant mantis and the dark brown mantis. Among them, what we call the grasshopper in the narrow sense is the elegant mantis, and the common name of the four that can fly with long wings in the wild is the dark brown mantis. The two are similar in appearance and have roughly the same habits.

However, the voice of the elegant mantis is better, so the players who raise the elegant mantis have more comparisons.

4. Generally speaking, the average lifespan of a grasshopper is about 3 months, and if it is carefully raised, it can reach 4 months or even longer. Grasshoppers are carnivorous insects, although we only feed grasshoppers with vegetables and fruits, but grasshoppers still love to eat grasshoppers, barley insects, beetles, and other insects. Therefore, if conditions permit, properly feeding some insects is also very beneficial to the growth of grasshoppers.

5. At present, many fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides, and the damage of pesticides to gnats is fatal. Therefore, during the feeding process, either wash the food cleanly, or choose non-pesticide vegetables such as carrots and loofah flowers. Only healthy food can make the raised grasshoppers live healthier and longer.
