Indeed as well as letting them loose being illegal. Letting them go free isn't really the best thing to post on a public forum...

this is just stupid, if you were to trying to be humane you shouldnt really be feeding them to your pets as its hardly fair unless you take your pet outside aswell as the locust and watch them fly away/hop away before your pet eats them. so either dont feed them n watch thm die, keep them as pets or just a swift smack with something.

P.S i really hope i dont come back as a locust in a later life

Have a wall of text, courtesy or DEFRA...

"Section 14 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) is the principal legislation dealing with the release of non-native species. This has been amended by the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004 in Scotland, and the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act (2006) in England and Wales. Section 14 of the Act makes it illegal to allow any animal which is not ordinarily resident in Great Britain, or is listed on Schedule 9 to the Act, to escape into the wild, or to release it into the wild. It is also illegal to plant or otherwise cause to grow in the wild any plant listed on Schedule 9 of the Act. Offences under section 14 carry a maximum penalty of a £5,000 fine (£40,000 in Scotland) and/or 6 months imprisonment on summary conviction (i.e. at Magistrates’ Court) and an unlimited fine (i.e. whatever the court feels to be commensurate with the offence) and/or 2 years imprisonment on indictment (i.e. at Crown Court). Schedule 9 of the WCA Act is currently under review in Scotland and Defra is intending to review this schedule for England and Wales shortly."

Totally forgot about this thread!

The axolotl loved them so happy ending

Thanks for some of the suggestions guys, bugs really aren't my thing, I thought they were like mice and could feel pain if you froze them.

I would have liked to keep them as they are quite pretty but couldn't deal with them flying out!
