Please don't say in my backyard because my hubby said that and didn't believe me but there are no Grasshoppers or Locusts.
I'am from Germany and I was so used to buy them at the petstore in large numbers. They were better to feed then crickets. And I heard that they are even better for Chameleons when it comes to nutrition. Also I always think about variety. They don't escape so easy either.
In Germany I had to buy sticky traps for the Crickets on the loose cuz they were impossible to catch.
Anyway, I even researched on google but didn't find anybody here in the states who breeds and sells them.
HELP!!!
 
i think they are considered a pest and technically illegal to sell in the US. which is why you don't see any of the feeder suppliers selling them :mad:
But i think some members breed them.. maybe u can convince someone to part with some if you wanted to try and breed them.
I do hear Chams love them.
also be careful what you feed off if u do catch any .. some are poisonous or can contain pesticides
