[QUOTE="Poec54, post: 40809, member: 3524"] The general advice is don't use wild caught feeders. Many areas have had chemical exposure (which can take years to break down), from pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides used by homeowners and farmers, to industrial chemical run offs that rain can spread for many miles. Some municipalities aerial spray for mosquitoes. If you can get captive-raised grasshoppers, try them. The problem is their ability to jump and fly, which is why crickets are infinitely more popular in the US. You could be running after grasshoppers all over your house, trying to catch escapees.
