Description
We were! We were always getting dead crickets. After years of shopping around, testing other species, and learning more about crickets, we found Banded Crickets Gryllodes sigillatus! These crickets ship well all year long; they weren't dying when the temperatures would spike a little bit, or if the temperatures unexpectedly dropped. In most climates, they would consistently arrive alive and fresh. They were also living much longer than other species we had experience with. All crickets are bred and raised to provide you the best quality feeder insect. These crickets also naturally contain more protein compared to other species of crickets, which is important for building and repairing tissue in your pets! Our goal is to get insects to customers that are alive on arrival every single time! We understand that sometimes because of extreme temperatures, handling mishaps, or shipping mistakes that just doesn't happen. For the times when your live items don't quite make it, we have a generous 3 Day Life Insurance Policy* on all live insects!
When the temperatures drop we switch over to cricket boxes that do not have vents. These boxes do a great job holding body heat from the crickets in the box, keeping them toasty during their winter travels. They also eliminate potentially fatal drafts! The boxes are not airtight, and crickets can still breathe in the box. As oxygen levels decline, the crickets slow down their metabolism and movement. This state allows them to survive shipping. We've had them last over 2 weeks this way!
When choosing the size of your feeder insects, we recommend choosing insects equal to or less than the distance between your animal's eyes. If you choose insects larger than that measurement, the animals can have difficulties consuming or digesting the feeders. Banded Crickets are the insect of choice for most lizards, amphibians, and other exotic pets. Available in a full range of counts and sizes to fit your needs perfectly.
