Bug eating
Our 5 month old lab , Wingnut, has a facination with hunting and then eating crickets and grasshoppers. Can these bugs hurt him in any way? We try to stop him but we live in out in the country and they are everywhere.

They won't hurt him unless he eats way too many which will most likely give him stomach ache in which case he will probably eat grass to try to settle his stomach but then too much of that too will just make him bloated or unless they're in fields which use pesticides or insecticides in which case if he eats a lot the chemicals may get into his system and make him a little ill. This isn't likely though as he's just have to eat them all day for like a week!

In one word, no.
Just make sure he doesn't go after the yellow flying ones. They taste really bad. (Bees)

Thanks for the insight. Our yard is large and there is no worry of pesticide. As for the yellow and black ones, for some reason this summer there have not been a lot of them. It affected growing things because they weren't being pollinated. I know this is not the place to ask , but anyone know why the bees were scarse?

There has been a fungal infection spreading across the US for the last few years that kills about 3 out of 7 hives. New England is where it started, and they're just beginning to recover from it.
