I stopped buying from Petsmart because I had to throw out more than I used, they were 2 big so I tried online. My 1st order was with Ghann's, I ordered 1000 crickets when they arrived THEY STUNK, thats cause 90% were dead so wasted $30 there then 3 days later I had to order more so I tried The Cricket Factory/lllreptile.com & not much better luck... although most were alive however 75% of the were NOT THE SIZE I ORDERED and yet another WASTE!!! Now a day later alot more are dead in my cricket keeper. Alot of them were really dark & meatier & definitely more agressive so I'll NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN or Ghann's!!!
Anyone know of a GOOD cricket place, Ive spent $60 in crickets w/i 1 weeks time.
Guess its 2 late for that I recieved my order last Friday from them, with almost all of them being dead I had to order more 2 days after not that the other place was better. I did send this lllreptile an email this morning but no response as of yet.
I've had really good luck with http://www.millbrookcrickets.com I order 1000 every 10 to 14 days. They arrive fedex overnight and come in a box with screened holes in the side. so far, all my orders have come with little or non dead and didn't smell at all. I started off ording 1/2" crickets and then switched to 3/4". They were all the appropriate size. I'm very happy so far and will contnue to order from them until my dubia colony starts kicking in.
SIDE NOTE: with my last order, I was a bit short on the count because fedex crushed my box a bit and popped the screen away from the box a bit. The box was placed in a large plastic bag and tied off. I'm sure the truck driver was NOT too happy having some crickets running around the truck :roll: of course this wasn't the fault of the cricket company though.
