Unboxing 200 Locust! What To Do With Them All? Housing Locust/Locust Care - SG_Animals 

Thank you!! Glad to have a likeminded person stop by 😄 They may be ''only'' insects to many, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve the same respect as all the other animals out there 💖

Thanks! I'll have to do another video sometime soon on locust! hope your tree frog and gecko are getting on okay 😄

Hey, That's not a bad idea to be fair, on the other vid I covered what to feed the insects. But might make one on what the benefits of different feeder insects give 🤔 Thanks!!

@@sg_animals. I'd love to see that vid!

I want them as pets, the locusts that is

Go for it! I'm thinking about making a setup soon to breed them in!

That's brilliant!! I love that you see them the way I do, they have little minds of their own it's amazing. I'm the same with my dubia roaches too, I breed em for a purpose but always feel somewhat bad when feeding them off. I'd get overrun if I didn't though. Thanks for coming back! Made me smile. You'll have to keep an eye out it may be a few months but I'm actually hoping to create 2 proper setups for locust and dubia roaches (seperately) to breed them in more spacious and optimal conditions and give myself a chance to properly film them doing what they do, see if we can't make something good of it 😄

@@sg_animals. Oh yay! I will watch that definatly! Funny you mention dubia roaches, I wanted go get some aswell, but had to read up in them and since then there aren't any in my local pet store anymore but I wanted bugsss so got me superworms and they are fascinating! Got some more locust offspring and had to stop, my terrarium is too small for 80, so I seperated them, some are in my old hamster cage (All adults, they can't brrak out). I really would love to show u my setup, if u want to add me on facebook. I make vids and memes. I love my hoppers to death lol My YT channel is dead for years.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😄

Glad to help :)

Go for it! They're fascinating little creatures. And surprisingly colourful!

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it! :) Yeah took me a while to notice aha, think the 2 most recent videos are much more levelled out, let me know what you think?

In general? I'm currently building a bio active gecko enclosure that'll cover many aspects of self maintaining! 😄 But do you mean locust wise? Because if it's locust then that's gonna be a while away I'm afraid, I don't have much space anymore haha

@@sg_animals. yup, locusts was what I was referring to 😁

1... acre? What's going on here? 😂

Sand is normally recommended for keeping, some people use oats which I tried once, but found they were a pain for retaining moisture, causing raised humidity and then producing a mite outbreak. So I'd definitely recommend sand if you intend to keep them long term.

I used giant orange woodlice, tropical greys and dwarf white woodlice. Might try this again in the future with a MUCH larger enclosure. That was probably the downfall, locust not having the space to escape the humidity the moss releases

Would be great to see another attempt, not much out there on properly keeping locust or breeding them

I'll definitely try again in the future, be a cool project and save a tonne of money breeding my own, just need to find the right set up and create some space! :) Hopefully by the end of this year

Is the bug gel all you feed them? My only concern is the lack of nutrients, it's not very substantial and they won't be passing much onto whoever you feed them too. Whereas if you feed em spinach, cabbage, kale instead then they'll be full of goo vitamins to pass onto the consumer! :)

Gave them to birds yesterday

I wouldn't recommend it 😂

These ones don't aha

They're pretty docile, and don't go very far, any escapees just crawl a little then stop. Even the adults with full wings, only seem to flutter a little, then stop and settle, I guess as they've never really flown in captivity, they don't really get it 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️😄. They're super easy to recapture 👍. Also, locusts can only cause havoc if released en masse. And even if that happened, in this country it would be a temporary irritation, as they would not survive our autumn temperatures, let alone full winter. As they need to be kept pretty warm, to digest their food.
