Where to buy 1,000, 2,000 crickets?

JayceeBuddy67 · May 24, 2015

Last time I bought crickets at PetSmart and I got 36 of them. Miss Buddy ate every single on in 1 or 1 1/2 days. I'm looking for live crickets in bulk. Maybe 1,000 or 2,000. Do you guys recomend any other good insects?

Thanks!

I found some at http://www.premiumcrickets.com/products/1000-crickets__1000.aspx should I get 1/4 or 3/8? Or smaller or bigger?

EDIT: My dad said 1/8 would be better. I found a 1/8

I used to get them 1000 at a time from premium crickets. I found it best to order them a bit smaller as you're doing and letting them grow in their tank because their lifespan is so limited. The 1000 order usually lasted 3-4 weeks.

Can you get small dubias? Would they OK for her?

Yeah you can order small dubias just like you would with crickets. They can be more expensive than crickets that way however. If you have the choice I'd definitely order them over crickets because they're much easier to keep, heartier, and are much less smelly. The more economical way to do it is to start a dubia colony which takes several months to establish. Once it's established though, they replenish on their own which is nice.
