Are These Grasshoppers safe for my panther??

[ColeCham333]

Hey guys does anyone know if the "Differential Grasshopper" (Melanoplus Differentialis), or the "Carolina Locust" are safe for a panther to eat? They are in my yard all the time- I probably see 10-15 of them when I cut the grass! They of course would be captured from the wild, but i have a fecal done every 6 months which would catch any issues. Would this be a good addition to his diet?? Thanks y'all

If they are the actual grasshopper you talk about they are perfectly fine as long as you don't spray your yard or live in an area directly near stuff like that.
