I've never ordered from Ghanns, but I am a repeat customer of Linda's Gone Buggie. Great feeders of all types and they always arrive alive for me. My beardies love them! And they have great value and combo packs.

I've ordered 1000 from them recently and almost all arrived alive even though FedEx delivered them 3 days late.

I ordered 1000 crickets from ghann's and they delivered a great product. I was especially pleased that the sizes of the crickets were close and hardly any dead crickets.

Love em. They are the only people I've used since I got Reptar. Never had any dead on arrival,and they last a long time. I highly recommend them :)
Though they started using new crickets that I don't like as much as the regulaer ones they have :roll:

My only complaint is the last batch I ordered from them were 3/4" and they were mean! They were extremely active and bit me everytime I picked one up. Luckily I freeze them so now they are dead and frozen...

Lol!!! Your able to freeze them!? Don't they loose nutrition value or something like that??
 
I bought from Ghanns and also had mean and crazy crickets! Never seen crickets jump like these guys!!!! I have been ordering from flukers recently the only probem is they came lst time with worm things I heard they were to clean up after the cricket poo and I also heard they were a problem with flukers cricket food. I didn't contact them about it just didn't feed them to my guy. I get 1000 for $28 from them 13.99 for the crickets and 14.75 for priority over night

I think I might try flukers next time, these things were crazy mean and yes they jumped like crazy!

Yes I gutload them for 24 hours and then freeze them. I use little deli cups with lids and then put those into freezer bags. Then I take one deli cup out and keep it in the fridge so when I am ready to feed I just dust them with calcium or vitamines and feed them. I freeze about two weeks worth at a a time. As far as nutritional loss, do you eat frozen food??? I am sure whatever is lost is replaced by the fresh greens I feed daily and the vitamines I dust with. The protein stays the same, there may be some moisture loss but I usually spray the salad with water so he gets plenty of liquids.

That's weird..the last batch I had was quite different too..but the opposite.
They looked completely different than the usual ones I get,so I was under the assumption that I had recieved the banded crickets..after emailing them,they replied back saying that I had gotten the same crickets I usually do..These new ones were not active at all,smelled ALOT worse,and were very light in color.
This new batch I just got was alot like the ones before :) Nice and active,and non-agressive

I didn't even think to email asking what kind I got, I know they are trying to use up some breed that was more expensive to breed and are working on another kind (banded?) I am not sure.

I like the idea that flukers includes a worm that eats carion? That sounds nice. It's always a pain transferring the crickets to a plastic bin and then trying to clean all the poop out with crickets running up my arms, biting, and trying to jump out. If i had little worms to eat their poop, well that would be great, but then what happens to the worms poop? lol.

Ok, only 1 more inch until my guy can be on supers full time....

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
