Important Note About Adult Crickets
Adult crickets are nearing the end of their natural life cycle. Because of this, you may see a slightly higher DOA rate compared to younger sizes. This is normal across all suppliers and not a sign of poor quality.

Cricket FAQ
Most reptiles and amphibians should eat crickets no larger than the space between their eyes. Pinheads are ideal for tiny hatchlings, while ½"–¾" crickets work well for juvenile and adult reptiles.
Yes. All crickets are fed a high-quality, nutritious diet before shipment to ensure they are packed with vitamins when they reach your pet.
In colder months, crickets can enter a dormant state. Allow the box to sit at room temperature for 3–4 hours. Most "still" crickets will wake up and become active once warmed up.
Only adult crickets chirp. If you want a silent feeder, we recommend choosing our smaller sizes (under 3/4") or opting for Dubia Roaches or Mealworms.
Absolutely. We offer bulk pricing for orders of 3,000+ crickets. Contact us for a custom quote.
