What should you pay attention to when raising grasshoppers?

1. Precautions for hatching eggs:

To hatch locust eggs, use a few bricks to build a small pool. It is best to sprinkle some water on the bottom and then flatten it with soil. Then sprinkle the eggs evenly on it, and cover it with 2-3 centimeters of wet sawdust. When the little locusts come out, they can easily drill out of the sawdust. During this period, the temperature must reach above 25 degrees and the locusts will begin to hatch quickly. The sawdust on top should be sprayed with water every 2-3 days. If it is too dry, the eggs will be damaged by the sun. During the spraying process, it is best not to spray very cold water at home. It is best to use warm water that can be exposed to the sun for a few hours outside. Try to spray warm water on it in the afternoon, because too cold water will affect its slow hatching.

Second, issues that should be paid attention to in the management of small locusts:

The newly emerged small locusts are only as big as flies, very small. If it rains heavily, you should cover part of them with plastic sheets to prevent them from being washed to death by the heavy rain. Generally, it will only rain a few days. After 7 days, it doesn't matter if it rains a little. The newly emerged small locusts eat very little, so you'd better feed them some relatively tender green grass, so that the small locusts that grow up will be healthier and bigger. Locusts shed their skin once every 7 days to become one age. After they reach the 3rd age, you can feed them some older grass, or some hay powder, which can be mixed with water and sprinkled in the shed.

3. Issues that should be paid attention to when raising locusts:

Generally, everyone knows that locusts need to eat grass and can be fed grass powder, but when is the best time to feed them without starving? If locusts are too hungry, big locusts will eat small locusts. In fact, they do not bite each other 24 hours a day. They will not bite each other at night, in the morning and in the evening. It is mainly at noon. If you make them hungry and thirsty at this time, the big ones will eat the small ones. Therefore, it is best to feed them grass once during these hours and everything will be solved. Many farmers do not grasp this key point, and let many locusts starve and eat each other at noon.

How to deal with ants and mole crickets in your shed

Some breeding sheds may have ants, mole crickets and other insects, which are not very harmful to locusts, but it is still useless to try. Some people think that using some pesticides can solve all problems. In fact, this is a method that cannot be used, because there will be residues that are harmful to the growth of locusts. To eliminate ants, you can smash the nest and kill them with boiling water. Mole crickets can be illuminated by a light bulb. Put a large basin of water underneath. At night, the mole crickets will run to the light and you can kill them.

How to raise locusts in summer

Preliminary preparation for locust breeding: Step 1: Site selection. Locust breeding sheds should be built in places away from pesticide pollution, with drainage, ventilation and light transmission. Locusts like sunlight, so it is best to choose outdoors. Step 2: The construction of locust sheds is not limited to any shape, and the materials should be sturdy. The screens should be strong and anti-aging. The height is 1.7 meters, the width is about 5 meters, and the length should not exceed 20 meters. Step 3: Locust breeding feed should first be planted with wheat in the shed, and then it can be planted when the wheat grows to 10 cm high. However, corn grass needs to be planted in other fields. For 1 acre of locusts, 2.5 acres of corn grass are needed. Step 3: Seeding. Locust seeds are divided into eggs and seedlings. Eggs can be transported over long distances and by express delivery. The seedlings can be transported up to 10 kilometers, and they have died for three consecutive days, resulting in large losses. It is best to enter locust eggs.

Locusts do not need to be fed with feed and food during the breeding process. They mainly need grass to meet their nutritional needs for growth. The most feared thing about raising locusts is eating grass with pesticides. If they eat poisonous grass, they will die immediately. The density of locust breeding is too high, and locusts will kill each other when they are hungry, especially at noon. If there is no grass to eat in the locust shed, they will kill each other fiercely. They generally do not kill each other at other times. "Gather locusts in drought and fish in floods." Locusts do not like to rain all the time. If it rains for a long time, locusts will not eat because of the humidity and they will starve to death. It is best to pay attention to rain and moisture protection when it rains. Although raising locusts does not seem to be a very troublesome thing, it is also very hard to do, because the weather for feeding locusts is very hot. The hotter it is at noon, the more you need to feed the locusts well, otherwise they will kill each other.
