They require relatively low humidity and a lot of sun, which can be very difficult to provide in a small jar or terrarium. Still, some species can be kept alive for some time. Grasshoppers of the genus Melanoplus in North America can be fed grass and carrots, and will live for many weeks if their containers are large, dry and clean."

Those are the smartest grasshoppers I've ever seen. They will sit really still, while the chicken walks all around them, then sneek off when it turns its back! General something is what they are called. My dumb chickens didn't have a chance!

When I have things in my garden that are ruining it - cats, insects such as harvester ants, javelinas - I spray plants with water mixed with crushed garlic or eucalyptus oil, or I use an old yogurt tub with holes poked in the top to shake cayenne or white pepper around plants. That usually deters critters without killing anything. The one thing about grasshoppers though is that they are migrant and should move on and not return anyway.

A lot of sites I visited said to buy a product called Nolo Bait and apply it around and on your plants/flowers and it's supposed to keep the grasshoppers away. I haven't tried it yet but plan to soon. Hope this helps.

And there's nothing more amusing that watching a chicken run and jump to catch a grasshopper! They may scratch up the mulch a little bit but keeping them in a pen and allowing them out for a couple of hours a day will minimize it. Regards Jo Report Spam or Abuse
