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 animals 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.
Details
Are you tired of constantly receiving dead crickets? We know the frustration. That's why we decided to put an end to it. After years of searching, testing, and learning, we discovered the ultimate solution - Banded Crickets Gryllodes sigillatus. These crickets are hardy and can endure any temperature fluctuations during shipping, unlike other species we've tried. No matter the climate, Banded Crickets arrive at your door alive and fresh every time. Not only that, but they also have a longer lifespan compared to other crickets. We take pride in breeding and raising each cricket to ensure top-quality feeder insects for your pets.
But that's not all. Banded Crickets naturally contain higher levels of protein, making them perfect for providing the essential building blocks for tissue repair and growth in your pets. We understand the importance of providing live insects to our customers without any setbacks. While we strive for perfection, we acknowledge that accidents happen. That's why we offer a generous 3 Day Life Insurance Policy* on all live insects. Rest assured, we've got you covered.
During colder months, we take extra precautions to ensure the well-being of our crickets. Our specially designed cricket boxes are insulated to retain heat and eliminate any potential drafts. We want your crickets to stay warm and cozy during their winter travels. These boxes maintain a sufficient oxygen level that allows the crickets to slow down their metabolism and survive the shipping process. We've seen crickets last over 2 weeks in these boxes!
Choosing the right size of feeder insects is crucial for your pets' well-being. As a rule of thumb, we recommend selecting insects that are equal to or smaller than the distance between your animal's eyes. Insects larger than that can cause difficulties in consumption and digestion. Banded Crickets are the go-to choice for most lizards, amphibians, and exotic pets. We offer a full range of counts and sizes to perfectly cater to your needs.
