I get my crickets from this site: Quality Crickets - they are very reasonably priced, and extremely healthy. I haven't had many die-offs at all since I've been ordering from them.

I dont really search for crickets as I have no herps that feed on them but I know BigAppleHerp.com sells them. Not sure on what the pricing is though.

How would I keep 500 crickets, does the box it comes in, is used or like the cricket keeper that I have that holds 30 or so, I just have to get a bigger one, and how do I gut load the crickets, just take them out the day before gut load them with the stuff I use, I go to the pet store and I get about 2 dozen at a time, but I'm making alot of trips to the pet store, and I don't like the petstore?

The best thing you could do is to get a tote, or a rubbermaid storage container. They arent alot, just make sure you have one that is tall enough that the cricks cant jump out when you open it. Something like this http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...RBF&lpage=none

After you have a tote, youll need to drill air holes in the top, or you can use a nail and get it hoot to melt the holes. Either way just do it slow and dont force the drill or the nail, it will crack the plastic. Im not sure what size of cricks your getting, but make them small enough so they cant get out. The crickets like places to hide, i just used some egg cartons, the cardboard ones.

Youll need some food for them so a small dish of that, and at the petstores they have cricket water, its a jellylike stuff, theres 2 kinds flukers makes, one has calciumn in it the other dont. Your choice on that really. Crickets drown real easy so its best not to use water.

I use the Flukers orange cubes now, and for the water I found a little trick with little dishes with wet cotton balls in it. I can do it with the rubbermaid container, good Idea, wish I would have thought of that! thank you.

I would not recomend thesuperwormfarm.com service has gone down the tubes and my shipments were no longer comeing from PA but from LA and my tracking information said they were coming from flukers . When I asked about it more then once they never answered me.
my last order was from reptilefood.com and the crickets are great very healthy
