I need to place an order. I have been getting them locally through an exotics shop but I missed the deadline this week and can't wait till next week. I used to use Premium Crickets but have heard they have went downhill recently. Who is good with healthy crickets and a quick turn around these days?
I've been using Ghann's, but I missed the deadline this week and put in an order to Premium Crickets this morning. Give Ghann's a try, they're considerably cheaper than Premium.
When i used to use crickets i would get them from a local pet store also, would order 500 at a time and all of them would be alive, and i could keep them for a long time. My cricket container is homemade and allows ventilation from all sides, except bottom of course, this allows the smell to not be present. The reason for most of cricket deaths is the toxins they release when they die (that smell you get when opening the container), so i put screens on all sides and have had no die offs. But now i use Silkworms, and ive got 250 hatchlings, and 3 cocoons right now, going to have moths soon, which means eggs! Will only have to buy food soon, gonna breed my silkies from now on.
You know, I would think about trying them, but they don't answer their phone, and they don't respond to emails. Kind of hard to get my business when you don't have a way for your customers to get a hold of you... :?
I get mine from http://www.llreptile.com. I am also wondering how much shipping is at southerncricket.com. Depending on the shipping cost, that might be cheaper than llreptile.
I have been getting mine from Premium Crickets, I don't see anything wrong with mine. They are reasonable, and they carry Phoenix Worms, so I can get both in one order.. Their cricket prices plus delivery are nearly the same, give or take a few cents, as lllreptile. I like LLLReptile, a lot. Their supplies are the cheapest I've found. If they carried PW's, I'd order from them instead. Oh, their customer services rocks, too. So, I guess I'm suggesting lllreptile, then premium crix...
... I should go to bed now..
