HI GUYS GIRLS,

BREEDING LOCUSTS:
IF YOU ARE WANTING TO BREED YOUR OWN LOCUSTS THEN ALL THATS NEEDED IS A 4 INCHDEEP DISHFILLED WITH SILVER SAND OR SHARP SAND.THE SAND SHOULD BE KEPT MOIST BY WETTING IT AND ADDING A FEW DROPS OF WATER EACH DAY,YOU DONT WANT THE SAND WET THOUGH,JUST MOIST.
THE FEMALE LOCUST WILL POITION HERSELF OVER THE SAND DISH AND PUSH HER BACK END IN TI IT TO DEPOSIT UP TO 200 EGGS.IF YOUR TANK IS THE CORRECT TEMP THEN THE LOCUSTS WILL EMERGE AFTER 10 - 12 DAYS.
THE YOUNG CAN BE FED ON THE SAME AS THE ADULTS AND WILL GO THROUGH SEVERAL INSTAR MOULTINGS BEFORE BECOMING ADULTS-YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO USE THEM BY THIS TIME THOUGH!!

KEEP LOCUSTS AT ROOM TEMP ABOUT 20-26 C IN A DRY ATMOSPHERE TO PREVENT FUNGAL INFECTIONS.

FEEDING LOCUSTS:
FEEDING LOCUSTS IS SIMPLE.'BUG GRUB IS AVAILABLE WHICH CONTAINS BRAN,CALCIUM AND OTHER MINERALS BUT NO MOISTURE.ALTERNATIVES INCLUDE BRAN,CORNFLAKES,BREAD AND DIGESTIVE BISCUITS.MOISTURE SHOULD BE PROVIDED IN THE FORM OF A CABBAGE LEAVE AND APPLES.

HOPE THIS HELPS......
