Where to buy crickets cheap.

I'm in a similar situation as you are Dumpy. I have 3 whites and one baby beardie. I didn't realize how much those beardies can eat! His name is Dexter but I nicknamed him Hoover because not only does he suck down the crickets but then goes around the tank and eats up all the salad!

Anyway, I order from Ghanns. In fact I just ordered 1000 1/2 inch crickets this week. They last me a little over 2 weeks. They ship FedEx and I did 2nd day shipping and it was $28 and some change. That's about the same price I would pay for 200 crickets at Petco! They are packed very well and I have very little die off.

Thanks for the advice, just so you know, you can order from lllreptile ( 1000 crickets 1 day premium shipping ) for the exact same price!!! I am not sure if they are unhealthier, but it might be something to look at.

That's good to know. There was a time when I didn't realize how short of crickets I was and the pet store was out and I had to overnight, it was $26 for just shipping! The crickets at Ghann's are the same type of crickets the Petco has only they have these LONNNNG antenna's. It's kinda creepy but it gives you a way to pick them up LOL! Dexter is always walking around with one stuck out the side of his mouth!

I have the same problem as you. anyway, rainbow mealworms is a little bit cheaper. 500 crickets just need around $10(not including shipping), it might meed your demand.

i go to my local pet store and the crickets aren't a bad price because I only have 1 frog and he eats 3 large crickets a week. So I can get 3 dozen and they will last him about 2-3 months.
