I bought 50 small grasshoppers, they are about 2cm long and the abdomen is about 3mm wide. First of all, there aren't much meat on them. Second, they can fly very well, can climb smooth surfaces and jump really high. And lastly they don't crawl much and when they move, they jump like 2 feet in the air. Oh and they only eat grass and leaves.
My chameleon and gecko aren't interested, because they don't even move enough to entice them. My hedgehog turns his nose up at them. My tarantulas did ate the grasshoppers but that is only when they jump onto the substrate but 90% of the time they are on the enclosure side or under the lid.
Conclusion: I actually hate grasshoppers more than crickets. And I have a few grasshoppers flying around my room and hiding somewhere.
