Answer 8

you can OBSERVE a grasshopper, but you cannot KEEP it

grasshoppers are not intended for pets and it would be very cruel to keep him because he is meant to live in the wild, not with you,

also if you keep handling grasshoppers the fine hairs on their underlegs wear off and this causes them not to make their grasshopper sound, if this happens you will of basically killed a grasshopper because a grasshopper that cant rub their legs cant find a mate so it will just die.

i hope it doesnt come to this and i hope you find it in your heart to let him go home,

after all,

you wouldnt like it if some man picked you up and locked you away from your friends and family would you?

very cruel.
