Well, I've never tried to raise grasshoppers, but I do know based on personal research, that their reproduction cycle is not as quick as crickets. The fact that they do not produce as fast or as much offspring as crickets and roaches do, makes them more costly to raise. Ultimately you invest the same amount of money to care for them, but then you don't reap the same harvest. If you are just concerned with providing a little variety to your frogs, then it probably does not matter. But if you are thinking of doing it as a business or as a staple food for lots of frogs, you might wanna stick with crickets, mealworms, and roaches.

To prevent ants from getting to your crickets, you can smear petroleum jelly around the container they are in (ants will get stuck and wont be able to crawl further.) For mealworms, you can do the same thing or just keep them in the refrigerator.
