Grasshoppers

[JEAE21]

Can I feed grasshoppers to fish and turtles?

 

[Aquaman_95]

Yes But make sure they are not to Large and don't have Pesticides on them

 

[JEAE21]

O.k.!
But why can't they be large? Will it bite my turtle..or..?
They're around 2" I think

They will transform into optimus prime and kill everything in your house if they're over 3" so be careful.

Hmmm Maby your Turtle Would eat them that big but I am not as Sure for the Fish. How big are they? I mean the Turtle and your Fish.

Im sure your turtle would eat them no probs but you'd have to have a fish with strong chewing capabilities.

how the heck do you "watch for pesticides"?

try to collect from a non-residential area. Also - I don't know the species but there is a certain species of grasshopper (I think they have red on thier wings) that is toxic to eat. You might want to research that first. Other than that...they are great food.

The pesticides won't kill the bugs?

And my turtle is 6inches. and the hopper is less than 2inchs
