[ashleyelsha]

I want to order some crickets in bulk online. Where is the best place to order from? If location makes a difference, I live in florida.
Thanks!

http://www.ghanns.com - Have been ordering overnight bi-weekly since around March. Rare that I have had an issue with them. (And that was a change of shipping address to my work address instead of home address, but they took care of that issue.) Even in this extreme heat we've been having, I haven't had a single amount of DoA count over 4-6.

Best yet, they're a state above you. So can't argue with how close they are. Means less time in shipping. Mine take a plane ride north to Ohio and they come with a very low DoA rate, very impressed.

I think you'll be happy with them. How did you have them shipped? Overnight Fedex or ground USPS?

I go through Armstrong's, i'm all the way in mass. They are located in Louisiana. 23 bucks for 2 day 1000 count. not bad if Ghanns doesn't work for you well.

Got my crickets today from fedex and they were in great shape! Very active and jumped on the apple and water crystals right away. I've got them gutloading on calcium water crystals, fresh fruits and veggies (apples, carrots, greens, zucchini), and crushed up zoomed juvenile bearded dragon pellets. I will probably freeze them tomorrow night after they've been gutloading for at least 24 hours, I would wait till friday but I have surgery friday morning so I need to get them in the freezer by tomorrow night.

I am happy with this company and they are the closest to me, so I am going to keep using them.

Glad to here! Going to try the freezer method on a couple over my work vacation and see how my little guy reacts to them.

 

[ashleyelsha]

well my little guy still loves them. He will pick them out of his salad and eat them from my fingers. I guess I fed him so many crickets today he only ate 5 phoenix worms this evening.

I have been ordering from LLLReptile for quite awhile. I have only had one batch that died quickly. They are a little more expensive because they ship overnight. But in Florida, and this heat..that is the only way to get them alive. I order 1000 at a time.

mine were alive, in florida, in the heat, with 2 days shipping and it was very affordable.
