Anyone breed grasshoppers?

[reptilia5]

In my never ending quest to be as independent from the pet stores as possible and to provide my frog with the best diet possible I have been researching breeding grasshoppers. My Lithobates palustris loves small grasshoppers and I am looking to set up a breeding colony come spring. I would like to know if anyone else out there breeds grasshoppers and could possibly pass on a little bit of wisdom to me about the best way to do this. Are they as smelly as as crickets? Also what is the ratio of nutrients to crickets? Thank you in advance for any info.

No they are not as smelly as those cricket but poops alot! and also i am breeding grasshoppers but ended up killing up my egg sac because ants ravaged it! first if you want to breed easily , take a small container or 5 gallon tank and place up some substrate ( i use cocopeat) sand is possible also , feed them grass or veggiesss , be sure to take up adult only! males will have a plain butt, and the female will have a stick like thing in its butt used for laying eggs.Secondy place a cheese cloth on top as covering secured with rubber band , and if you want to easily clean its cage remove its jumping legs and also remove it before feeding to a frog because it is thorny.Thirdly removing its jumping legs wont kill it! i do it to all my grasshoper i got 3 pairs of grasshopper mating! and when you see them mate ,gently handle the female(at the botttom) and place them together to a seperate cage do not remove the mating position and males would die after mating in some species.here's a pic of my hopper mating:

Unfortunately i dont have a pic of the setup i forgot lol sorry, but i have never successfully bred them because ants ate them and their egg sac! so place pertroleum jelly around its tank to prevent ants from climbing to it! they are easy to breed! and also can you specify the species?? and also the females dig to the soil 2-3 inches so make soil 2-4 inches to lay eggs! goodluck and also im not sure of nutrient!
does your hopper look like this?

if its like that it will be a different story! the one i stated above its for grasshoper and not for like this hopper(toothpick grasshopper).
