Question about food 
| Ok I know that locally caught insects aren’t good because there’s a good bet that they are contaminated with insecticides/herbacides, but what if you breed the caught insects, do you think that would get rid of the contaminates? I was just thinking I have grasshoppers all around me, but all the local pet stores, within 40-50 miles, don’t carry grasshoppers, seems a waste that I would have so many in my area and not be able to use them. Just wondering. |

Question about food
| Live Grasshoppers are illegal to sell in the US, just feed them the wild ones you catch. I don’t think you have to worry about the pesticides/chemicals too much. Grasshoppers are very good for your WD and wild ones have better nutrients than any raised ones will have. MrGreen!! |
