Our farms feed the grasshoppers/locusts on several kinds of grasses without any added growth promoters or chemicals. Grasshoppers have a high nutritional value and have furthermore, due to their hard armour, the ability to clean young birds’ intestines by dragging along the surplus mucus in the intestines during the intestinal transit. This is especially of importance to purely insect-eating birds. It is recommended to cut the grasshoppers in pieces for small birds.
