Product Description

how banded crickets are different

Have you ever been frustrated with dead crickets?

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.

When choosing the size of your feeder insects, we recommend choosing insects equal to or less than the distance between your animals eyes. If you choose insects larger than that measurement, the animals can have difficulties consuming or digesting the feeders.

Basically all 1000 alive and well. Delivered in a sealed box with a warm pack and some bits of potato and drink cup carriers used the same as egg crate. I ordered medium 1/2” crickets and thats exactly what i got.I’m very happy and will order again.

I was so frustrated at buying crickets for my bearded dragon from local big box per store. The next day they would all be dead. I was having to buy only what he could eat in one sitting but hated driving 30 min each way for crickets.With these crickets, there's no more hassle. I've had no trouble keeping them alive for weeks until they run out ( not die out!) Happy beardie, happy owner

I can’t say enough about how great this company’s customer service is. I have been a customer for three years with orders every three weeks. They are prompt shippers, quality product and quick resolution for any issues. I can highly recommend them. I wouldn’t buy from anyone else.

I have ordered crickets 3x during the warmer weather I did not have any issue, was delivered fast and received good quality crickets, as the weather is colder now I had an issue with dead crickets in my last order I contacted seller and received immediate response and was shipped out a replacement order. Replacement order was delivered fast and more amount of crickets were live some slow moving but it’s also much colder temps. I will continue to order from this seller in the future.

ALL crickets were alive upon arrival and 3 days later none have died! They look active and healthy and so much better than the crickets from Petsmart. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was very difficult to transfer the crickets into our small plastic containers and I had to put everything into the bathtub and it took a good 15 minutes. When you open the box, the crickets will immediately jump out so be careful! Great product overall though and I will definitely buy from here again.

Josh's Frogs never disappoints with their crickets! The first time I ordered I was worried about how it'd work having them sent through the mail, but, I gave it a shot and got my first order a few months back. I'm so glad I did! I've ordered from them a few times now, and each time every single cricket has arrived alive and healthy. They are usually a little thirsty from being in that box during shipping. So all ya gotta do once ya get 'em is give them something with liquid for 'em to have a drink, and they'll be happy and healthy for as long as you keep them. WAY better value than buying from my local pet shop. When I buy from there the crickets usually die within a few days. Josh's Frogs crickets last as long as they're supposed to, and I've yet to have even a single cricket dead on arrival. Plus, the sizes are accurate. I've gotten different sizes all the way from pinheads to adult crickets and each time I got exactly what I ordered. I doubt I'll be buying crickets from anywhere else anytime soon just because these are far better quality and also better quantity than I can get elsewhere due to the simple fact that they're healthy and don't all die within 24 hours (as long as you actually take care of them, feed them, give them liquid like insect water jelly or even some fruit slices or something. They're bugs, they aren't picky, they'll love pretty much anything you offer them and they're fairly easy to keep alive once you have the right source and know how to keep them) Never gonna buy the sad dying lethargic crickets from the local store again. Waste of time and money. These are always healthy, always fat and happy, full of nutrients, ready to be fed to whatever needs them. (Or even just kept as a pet themselves, if that's what you're looking for. They make lovely little noises once they become adults.)
