Worth it ð
I can definitely see how live crickets by mail could be hit or miss based on weather and shipping time but the 2 times Iâve 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 boxesIâm glad company will replace them but is is a little annoying when youâve got a very grumpy frog who refuses anything but crickets and now you have to wait for a new batchIâve 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 Iâd gotten a few stowaways sooner I kinda like them 🙂

Poor quality
For some reason my first review got rejected. Terrible quality feeders! All dead the first time only sent half the replacement needed and those were half dead as well

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.

Perfect healthy live crickets
These crickets arrived in an Alabama winter (Feb 2025) alive and very healthy. Yes, theyâre thirsty but who wouldnât be? Thereâs absolutely zero smell, the effectiveness and functionality of the shipping container is a no brainer.. simply cut around the lid, twist and pour into your permanent container. Very easy to use! The appearance of these crickets is top notch, itâs day 5 and have had zero problems.Thanks guys for a job well done! ð

Fast Shipping and Crickets alive.
Came quicker than expected and crickets were alive. Will order again. Thank youI live in a rural area with no pet stores close, so this was great. Thanks again. Spike our Bearded Dragon appreciates it too!!

Half die twice ordered
Of course itâs a risk as their is no refund. Ordered twice thinking first time was a fluke⦠easily over 1/2 die. If not the first day then within a week. See attached video for day of arrival of second delivery. Horrible quality crickets.

Several arrived dead.
I initially bought 500, but several arrived dead. Despite that, I decided to give it another chance and ordered 1,000. Unfortunately, I had the same issue â several arrived dead, and more died within 1-2 days. I provide cricket food and crystal water, remove any dead ones promptly, and keep their enclosure clean. I even give them a dark area to reduce stress, but they just keep dying. The crickets I get locally last much longer, giving me a few daysâ supply for my baby dragon, who has a great appetite. Disappointed with the quality.

Itâs fine.
The shipping is fast, arriving within two days. The crickets arrived alive, with only about 10% dead. Everything else is in good condition. Not too bad overall.
