I usually feed grass and occasionally potato (though they seem to vary as to whether they will eat it) and other relatively dry veg

I tend to avoid overly moist foods such as cucumber - nothing kills off locusts like a bit of humidity.

yeah sorry I need to hijack too, my locusts won't eat. I've been using them about 2 months now, and they never seem to eat anything. I've tried a number of things, lettuce, broccoli stalk, tiny pieces of apple, anything. But nope, they're not interested?
