Grasshoppers?

[DragonKeeper]

I have read on www.kingsnake.com that beardies can eat grasshoppers,

Is this true?

 

[Magpie]

ive been feeding mine grasshoppers for years ,i give the kids in my street 20 cents for five hoppers they catch them all weekend.
My dragons eat bees on the lawn as well without being stung

 

[Dingo]

Cicadas don't last long either.

 

[DragonKeeper]

Thanks, Does anyone know what attracts them? or how to set up a trap?

I have been trying to catch them with a net... only got 3!

I put an ice cream container with a bit of porridge some leaves and grass on my lawn, but none went in it.

I was thinking maybe a bit of card with honey on top, so they get stuck to it, but I have no idea.

Our beardy loves them. Gets them as a treat when we can find them in the shops. (Hard to get sometimes).

Turn on your outside light at night and after an hour or so there will be lots of insects (often grasshoppers as well) for you to catch. Your Beardies will love them.

Also, grow some nasturtiums - easy, fast and cheap. They love them too (flowers and leaves).
