A "whopper hopper" indeed!
I'm used to keeping arachnids and phasmids, but these are quickly becoming a family favourite. Lovely creatures - big and gentle and devour leaves like there's no tomorrow. Easy to handle, but do so in a contained room because they tend to jump without provocation, even flying short distances. Sometimes they'll even leap onto you. They're surprisingly good climbers too. I've seen an adult climb up glass. I keep mine inside a mesh with live pot plants and dead bamboo sticks which they seem to approve of. This site gives great service and treats its customers well.
