CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to build a grasshopper breeding shed How to build a grasshopper breeding shed

1. Preliminary preparations for raising grasshoppers To raise grasshoppers, you need to build a breeding shed. It is best to choose a ventilated and sunny place, such as in front of or behind the house, in an idle courtyard, or on a plot of land. The floor of the breeding shed should be 10-15 cm higher than the surrounding ground to facilitate drainage in the rainy season. The shed can be built with bamboo strips, bamboo poles, and wooden sticks as supports, and then use gauze to make a greenhouse-like shed cover, bury the bottom edge in the ground, leave a door, and install a zipper on the door or stick it with adhesive strips. The height of the shed is 1.5-2 meters, and it must be built by the end of April.

2. The area of ​​the shed depends on the number of grasshoppers. Generally, 600-800 adults can be raised per square meter. At first, 15 square meters are enough to raise 10,000 grasshoppers. Each female grasshopper can lay 60-90 eggs. As the number of grasshoppers increases, the shed will continue to be expanded. After the breeding shed is built, dense wheat is planted on the ground inside the shed to prepare for the young locusts to eat.
