So I just received my first shipment of these dudes and I'm very pleased! I live in the Midwest where it can get very hot, but out of 500 crickets, no more than maybe 50-75 were dead (it's hard to tell exactly between the molts and the actual dead ones, but it was not nearly as many as I expected). Even if it were 100 dead, the price for these guys is amazing! I was spending $6 for 3 dozen large crickets every week from the pet store, so the savings are great.
The only complaint I have is that some of these guys are on the smaller side, and not quite as large as I was expecting. It makes my job a bit harder hunting for the big ones to feed, but having a few that are still growing will mean larger live ones in the coming weeks. If you're planning on keeping them around for a while, it's probably most beneficial to have a little bit of a size range. We tossed in a couple test crickets, and my tarantula, as well as my leopard gecko, snapped them both up.
The box also comes with a nice stash of egg carton -- something I very much appreciate! They were rather hard to transfer from the cardboard box to the vented plastic tub -- any advice from other buyers, or the seller on the easiest way to transfer without getting loose crickets everywhere would be appreciated! But it was definitely worth the effort. Planning on buying again!

Awesome Delivery of our Large Crickets!
At one point we bought our crickets at PetSmart at 11 cents a piece... It was more convenient (so we thought), as we were new to the Bearded Dragon world... She ate smalls for a few months..and when we ran out, we just went and got more. A few times they were out and I had to wait until their delivery....so we made due. But as she started needing larger crickets, it got more inconvenient to get them from there.. A lot of times they were out.. Had to feed my Puff (my pretty dragons name)... So I went on and started looking up prices on Amazon.. It was then that I realized how much money we were wasting going to PetSmart. WOW!! So..I ordered from another company first..I'm new to this..and I read the reviews which seemed pretty decent. Ordered from them 4 times.. The best of them being the first delivery. After that, they came in pretty sad conditions. Full of ants, or black worms and the last straw was more than half dead and the other half dead within a few days. I felt complaining wasn't going to do much good..I wasn't planning on ordering from them anymore. Wish I would have looked a little further down the page then, because I would have found this company. I don't know if this company is closer to me, making less delivery miles and crickets sitting in wait...or what. BUT I tell you..not one dead cricket...and they are HUGE and beautiful. And they came in half the time! We have had this batch of 500 for a little over a week. We might have 15 dead ones at this point. That's great compared to my last experience! It also seems that Puff is way more into these as well...she eats like a beast 😀 So, in conclusion... I am very happy to have found your company in the luck of a scroll... Planning on reordering this weekend! Thank You!
