I have been going to Reptipets, on Christian de Wet, Roodepoorts, for mine.
The thing is they have upped their prices, and dropped in quality. They say you get 150 crickets in a box for R80, but after counting how many I used and how many have died(none) in a given week-I come out more along the lines of 80 per box. That's R1 per cricket. A bit overpriced in my eyes. Not to mention the extreme variation is sizes!! The little ones are so small they keep escaping out of toothpick holes! And I included them in my count! So I'm guessing it's like 50 normal sized crickets for R80!!
So I've decided to look around for a better supplier- Any suggestions near the West Rand, Gauteng? I only need this for about 2-3 more weeks, then Leo should be big enough to feed roaches. CANT WAIT!!
