[QUOTE="MBullock, post: 230138, member: 33994"] You need a different enclosure. THese grasshoppers are a desert species and do not like poor ventilation, and they need intense bright light and heat to be happy. they quickly succumb to respiratory ailments as the spiracles can be blocked by condensation, causing fungal infections and rapid death. The best enclosure for all Short-horned grasshoppers is a large screen cage with light exceeding 5000k (daylight spectrum, 6500 is best), a simple CFL will suffice) and a reptile basking lamp for heat.
