How much do you pay for crickets?

[bradlush]

I'm kind of curious as to what the average cost of crickets is. I pay 9 cents each at the pet store down the street from my apartment.

That's about how much they cost at my regular pet store, but I have a reptile store near me that sells 100 for $4.00 which is pretty good. I also have a cricket farm within driving distance that sells 1000 for $21.00. Unfortunately, my dragon won't eat them!

An average online price as far as I can tell is about 15-20 bucks for 1000 crix. Pet stores are a ripoff

It is cheaper if you buy online! If you look around you can probably find them 4-8cents! Good luck...

 

[bradlush]

Yup, think I'll have to do that. Anyone know anybody that delivers in Canada?

I do roaches, almost 300 small ones for like 22 bucks.

 

[bradlush]

Nice, I can't get roaches here, they're illegal to import and there are no local breeders

I don't know if Ghann's (http://www.ghann.com) delivers to Canada, and it probably wouldn't be the same price, but I pay $28 shipped for 1000, so $.028 cents apiece.

250 crix for $9

1000 for $27.50

crickets shouldnt be bought at mainstream petstores...they charge way too much!
i get mine from a reptile breeder. He gets them in bulk and sells me a box of 500 for 13.50
i dont think im quite ready to try the 1000 count. mostly because i have to get two sizes on for the small baby and one for the bigger babies.


if i were to do the same thing at the reg pet stores it would be an arm and a leg...trying to make the amount of profit they do off unsuspecting reptile owners is criminal.

YUP, and now that I have my new guy, I've got to pick up pinheads at pet's unlimited, the only place I know has them around here, and they cost even more than the adult ones. WTF?
