Locusts..

[pussmunky]

Just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to catch them? Ive got about 60 in a tank but its kinda tricky and lately theyve started dropping their legs off when I hold them by um... -.- All they seem to do is jump constantly when my hands in and I dont want them escaping... Any help is appreciated!

Catch them in an area that you are certain has no pesticides and/or harmful chemicals.

ive bought them from a shop but rather than keep them in the little boxes i put them in a tank, just need to figure out how to get them from their tank to my lizards tank haha

I've never worked with locusts, but with crickets I had these plastic tubes in their container that they would hide in, so when I needed some I would just shake the tube into a bag to get however many I needed. So you could try something like that?

cheers for the tip, may try them with roaches an see how they do

You can use a paper towel or toilet paper tube you finished using and scoop the locusts with them
