10-12 months at a guess. Probably closer to 12 months though.

It sounds like you're doing everything right. He should be drinking. Maybe there's an underlying issue somewhere, illness maybe? Is he healthy apart from dehydration?

Hoppers are a nickname for juvenile locusts that haven't got their wings yet.

I'm in the UK too. Have you tried Dubia Roaches or Cali Worms?

They can start from around 5 months, but it's best waiting till about 1 year old. More so the female.

Completely normal behaviour for a new environment. He should settle in a couple of days.

Just a plastic deli cup

Mine is directly on the aluminium mesh and my little guy climbs on the roof, but he avoids the bulb. I think he knows it's too hot. Some don't though.

I have both an analogue and a digital hygrometer. My analogue one is similar to yours, whereby it stays at around 70-80%. Whereas my digital one seems more accurate with readings from 55-80%. Get yourself a digital one.

I ceramic heater on a thermostat would be my vote.

I would say the only limiting factor is his enclosure now. Adult male minimum should be 60 x 60 x 120. And to be honest, you'd probably need an even larger one than that to reach 24".

At least 6-7 months i'd say.
