Provisionally, yes. We bought four nymphs of the species Ancylecha fenestrata (Malaysian Leaf Katydid) at an insect show about 2 months ago and they are doing well eating privet. We have found some pics of them online but no information so we are relying on the info sheet provided by the dealer.

Can you keep grasshopers as pets?

I wouldn't recommend it. They're quite active, powerful jumpers and they need a lot of vegetation for food. Some are carnivores (such as some katydids), so you'd need to feed them either ham from the fridge or live insects, and they too are very jumpy. Not practical. I'd advise gentle spiders, or snails, which I had very much fun with as pets while I was small :)
