A Question For Cricket Feeders. . .

[Strawburriez]

I've ordered from Armstrong's the last couple of times. The shipment before last was fine, but the last one I got, they were all dead within a week or so. Given that they were only 3/4 inch crickets, and were given proper care in the same way I've taken care of past shipments who have done just fine, I was a little miffed. I've cleaned out and disinfected my cricket bin, and ordered from premium crickets. I was wondering if anyone else had ordered from this seller, and if their shipments had all arrived okay and done well? I also saw that they sell a cricket bedding made to control odor, supposedly a very high quality vermiculite. It was only $2.00, so I decided to try it out. I was also wondering if anyone else had tried this, or had any luck with it. Thanks bunches!
