Grasshopper feeding is a science, and in the past we talked about many routine operations, such as feeding, picking and so on. Today, I summarized several unpopular issues, and combined with my own experience on the Internet, I compiled them into a text. If you readers have any insights, please leave a message to discuss.
1. Do grasshoppers recognize people?
Insects have no IQ and do not recognize people, which is probably the view of many people. This sentence is also true and not true. It is true because insects do not have the brains of thermostatic animals, and their behavior is basically driven by their own instincts. It is wrong because insects, like mammals, have five senses, namely sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, and their environmental perception and adaptability are very strong.
Specifically, going back to the matter of raising grasshoppers, most playmates may have this experience: the new grasshoppers will always run away quickly when they see people approaching, and they will scream while running, and they want to put it out to feed or put it on a wet towel to take a bath. But after the owner feeds it for a few days, he will find that it has become quieter, or obedient. This means that it has adapted to the existence of this person, or adapted to its own environment. Then in people's eyes, the grasshopper is "recognizing people".
2. Will the grasshopper be stabbed in its own leg?
The legs of the male grasshopper are like the hairs on the legs of men, which is a symbol of the male, and the stronger the individual, the thicker the leg thorns. Artificially raised grasshoppers, long-term life in the tube or gourd, if the large body chooses small insects, then these originally used to grasp the leg spines of the prey, in this case, it is likely to become a "sharp knife stabbed at themselves", the foot pads, joints and other soft places may be punctured.
Therefore, the insects that store grasshoppers are not small, the so-called "wide instruments and excellent small residence". In addition, the grasshopper should be released every day to move the lower legs and feet, otherwise it will maintain a posture in the insect for a long time, even if it is not stabbed by its own leg, it will cause fatigue of the six limbs and lead to premature aging. If you don't have time to "let the wind out" during the day, try to move them into a wide space at night.

3. Why do grasshoppers break their whiskers?
I once watched a video about grasshoppers, bloggers talked about grasshoppers caught in the wild in the past, grabbing whiskers can lift the grasshoppers together with a jar, which shows how hard the grasshopper whiskers were at that time, unlike some grasshoppers now "weak and can't help the wind", the whiskers fall off as soon as they touch. The difference in physique is probably the root cause of the grasshopper's whiskers. In addition, when artificially cultivating grasshoppers, if they do not pay attention to disturbing the grasshoppers, causing them to rush left and right inside the insects, it is very likely to break the whiskers, or people accidentally break the whiskers of the grasshoppers when they switch the insects. (In addition to the whiskers, the claw flowers are also easy to clip off.) ）
In addition to the above unexpected situations, there is also a reason, that is, the grasshopper is fed a single food for a long time, resulting in insufficient nutrition, in order to supplement the necessary substances and eat their whiskers, so the feeding should be appropriate to improve the life of the grasshopper. Usually, carrots or edamame beans (soybeans are also available) as the main food, and it can be fed with some root worms. If you are more careful, you can feed some things that they can't eat in the wild, such as lamb liver, freshwater dried shrimp, and chestnuts are said to be good.
4. How much better do grasshoppers sound when they are raised in cool places?
Grasshoppers are very sensitive to temperature perception, generally speaking, the ambient temperature reaches 23 ° C will chirp, reaching 25 ° C will be free, the higher the temperature, the louder and more urgent, on the contrary, the call will become low and slow. Therefore, it is more appropriate to place grasshoppers in a relatively cool environment (do not exceed 25 ° C), on the one hand, this is their suitable living temperature, on the other hand, the grasshopper's call is loud but not urgent, and people sound more pleasant.
When raising winter grasshoppers, try not to put them directly on the heating, because the humidity is low in winter, coupled with the heating of the heating, it will make the insects around the worms become drier, the grasshoppers will be heated, of course, they will scream more, but the environment that is too high and too dry also has a bad impact on its life, light tendrils, heavy dehydration and forget. "Pu nuan wins narrow temperature", if you want the grasshopper to live healthily and bark for a long time, you can't just raise the temperature inside the worm.
