reputable online crickets??

Ok well I seem to have a ton of cricket eaters in here lately,, and the local pet shop raised their prices ridiculously so I am wondering where, and if you order online. Who do you order from and your opinions. I used to order my rats and such from rodent pro and hated having a million rodents in my freezer so I stopped,, well now the prices of frozen rats just doubled 10.99 for a medium So I am now ordering again. lol. I am just looking for a good bug place, lol. I had one and cant seem to remember who they were, lol.

Re: reputable online crickets??

wow, who do you go to get your f/t?! Ouch! I ordered crickets through the site that advertises in reptiles alot (Id get the magizine, but my boyfriend is asleep) But they were decently priced, I ordered 200 and they showed up at my door step, with only a few dead... But now I just go to petco... If you dont want tons of rats in your freezer, Ill split a rodent pro order with you... Do you still come up this way?

Re: reputable online crickets??

I use Top Hat Cricket Farm. We used them the first time around (15 years or so), this time I tried others and went back to them. Top Hat Cricket Farm. 
Also if you become a member of Michigan Herpetology Society you get a discount I wan to say I pay $8.00-10.00 for 500 crickets (non-member price $15.00). Michigan Society for Herpetology site: Michigan Society of Herpetologists Membership Page

Re: reputable online crickets??

I use Reptile Food

Only ordered twice so far. Once the order was perfect, the 2nd time half were dead and they weren't really the size I ordered. BUT they replaced them no questions asked.

Because its cold, the only way you can order them is overnight delivery right now. $26 for 1000. Cost more to ship than the critters cost. In the summer, its only going to be $14 for 1000

Re: reputable online crickets??

Its been a couple of years but I also used to use Reptilefoods and was very happy with them. The only reason I stopped is the local herp shop started doing a "cricket card". You "preorder". Costs me 40 dollars for 1000 crickets and I just go get what I need at any given time and they take it off the card. Its about double what I payed for online and I don't have to have a tub of a thousand crickets setting around. Not tomention not having any of them die off.

Re: reputable online crickets??

thats the part I have never liked about having a ton of crickets around,, you have to house them too until they are fed,, they tend to be a bit stinky for my taste, lol. But it looks like I will be setting up a habitat for them.
Thanks for the replies.

Re: reputable online crickets??

update, just got my replacement shipment and they look great. I think I need to start a slightly smaller size next time though. I have a feeling I'll be purchasing some small crix soon. The red eyes and toads can't eat large ones.

Re: reputable online crickets??

I like LLLreptile. When I had my BD I used to order crickets from them all the time. They tend to show up with only a couple dead, and the prices are really good.
