Yesterday evening all petstores were closed, so I fed him some ants... He really liked them do. He spend the night in a cage on a water jar, so he woudn't get cold. But what do you think is the best place to keep him in?
(Sorry for my bad english, I'm dutch I can't help it :P)
Thank you for your concern. Don't worry. He was alright. This woollen sock was the only thing I could find that would be soft, light and would keep warm enough to "simulate" his natural mother. It worked. Every time I moved the sock, he would try to get back underneath it just like he would with his natural mother.
In my town there is a bridge full of nest and 1 nest hade 5 birds and the mother was dead by 15 or 16 year old basterds so i took them home and there almost ready to fly!
Sorry I missed your question! Yes, you can feed it with grasshoppers at an early age to get them used to doing that but I recommend that you chop the insect into two or three pieces. At least until the bird is grown up.

grasshoppers are probably better than mealworms, but ideal would be flies you breed from maggots.

Yes. I managed to catch a few grasshoppers and feed them to him.
