Can you keep a grasshopper as a pet?

It depends on alot of things. What you feed them? How clean their enclosure is? And How big the enclosure is? Grasses, vegtibles, and leaves are great food sourses. A gut load gel is also acceptable (As a supplement) You should clean the uneaten, dried out or moldy food as soon as posible. The cleaner the cage the happier you pet will be. A five gallon cage is ideal for one or two grasshoppers. Be sure to have things to climb on such as branches. Ventilation is also a very important aspect, partially screen or all screen lids are perfect. If all goes well than a grass hopper should live for over the expect life span (30 days) (Mine of lived for 60 days and are still going strong)
