€ 4.00
Grasshoppers are a delicacy that is very high in protein for many birds, reptiles, fish and various mammals. A grasshopper (unlike many other insects) seeks the sunlight and is therefore easy to catch prey for our birds.
If you order grasshoppers in a cardboard tube, we recommend that you place the grasshoppers in a closed container with smooth walls. The lid of the closed container must be fitted with a ventilation gauze | insect mosquito net.
You can place extra cardboard egg trays in the tray, these can be used as climbing material for the grasshoppers.
Grasshoppers can best be kept at a temperature between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius.
Grasshoppers can be stored in the supplied PVC container with air holes.
Feed the grasshoppers mainly on grass. All green food should certainly be unsprayed. Grasshoppers are very sensitive to insecticides. In addition to green food, you can also add bran or a grain mix to both.
Make sure your birds have variety in food animals. This gives you a better general composition of nutrients. This prevents one-sided feeding and certainly benefits the general condition of your birds.
