Fluker’s Live Crickets, 100 Count Insects for Reptiles, Chickens, and Birds, Small (Approx. 1/4″)

Worth it 👏
I can definitely see how live crickets by mail could be hit or miss based on weather and shipping time but the 2 times I’ve had them arrive dead I sent the seller a message and they had new ones shipped out within 2 days!They are also a great size with a few varieties in size which is great if your like me and have multiple critters needing different size dinnersThey look healthy are a great value and were pretty easy to get out of the box into a tank! And they end up living way longer than chain store crickets!I will say I am not a fan of the metal tubes they have been shipping them inThe boxes were nice and insulated and with temps having just dropped where I am when they come in the tubes like they have the last couple times the tube gets cold very fastNot sure why the switch but I miss the boxesI’m glad company will replace them but is is a little annoying when you’ve got a very grumpy frog who refuses anything but crickets and now you have to wait for a new batchI’ve also gotten a few tag along in mine but nothing harmful! Just Dermestidae beetles and larvae which are harmless to living flesh and actually great for keeping your cricket container clean! They eat the dead ones happily! I kinda wish I’d gotten a few stowaways sooner I kinda like them 🙂

Great Value
I don’t know how to write this review without sounding like it’s a paid advertisement. I have no affiliation with Flukers. I honestly don’t know the first thing about them, other than they also make cricket food that I’ve purchased in my local pet store. Now on with the review!Before trying Flukers, I ordered medium-banded crickets from several other companies based on price and delivery speed. I’ve been pretty disappointed with those orders. I’ve gotten wild variations on cricket sizes and I usually get what looks like half the amount I ordered.I’ve placed my last few orders with Flukers, and they have been the most consistent. They get to me relatively fast, about three business days (I’m in Atlanta), and they’re packed well and mostly alive. I have no idea if there are 500 in the small box, and I could never count them. But, I’m happy with the amount. The big difference seems to be the way they’re packed. They use egg crate material that’s neatly layered in the box to keep the little guys and gals from getting tossed around like beads in a maraca. And, the price is great. If I got the same amount of crickets from my local pet store it would cost 10 times what I pay. Overall it’s a great value and I plan to keep ordering from Flukers.I’ve received nothing in return for this honest review. So there.

Very happy
I was very impressed with the size of the animals. I had ordered some from a different vendor and most of them were dead. I think I saw 2 or 3 dead out of 1000. Very impressed. I will order again from this company.

About half arrived dead
I order more then I need because about 25 – 50 % arrive dead. I keep them in a medium – large crate but they die off fairly quickly. I feed the orange cubes, dry cricket food, veggies and fruit. I clean ild foods daily as I feed new foods. I keep a thermometer that shows humidity and the humidity isn’t always ideal. I order 1000 to get 300 live to feed. This is not a good deal but I need a variety. I feed to my Bumblebee dart frogs, sling jumping spiders and even adult bold spiders.
