Is it a deficiency?

you need PINHEAD crickets... they are smaller than the small ones... PETCO should have them...but if not you may have to order online...

In addition to this. PETCO IS THE WORST PLACE TO PURCHASE CRICKETS AS THEY HAVE A 500% profitable rate on them. PLUS THEY ACUTALLY COUNT THEM. I would seriously look into finding another vendor for crickets.

Wow, I didn't know how bad they were. Do you know where else I could buy pinhead crickets? I live in MA and the only pet stores I know of are Petco, PetSmart, and Pet Supplies "Plus". I'm worried about buying them online because one, it is expensive to ship them, and two, you never know in what condition they are going to be once they arrive.

LOL! I used to buy 100 crickets at a time and there was one girl that would recount my bag and put back the extras!

I was afraid of ordering online too but it so worth it. If you order from a good place they will put food/water in the box and maybe even a heat pack. Usually they send over the amount that you order, to provide for deaths in travel. Shipping seems pricey but figure it this way...I was buying 100 small crickets a week at Petco for $14 so $28 every two weeks. Online with shipping for 1000 1/2 inch crickets that last me 2 weeks, I pay the same price!

Look for a company that ships FedEx or UPS long distance. The first time I ordered online I ordered from someone off Amazon and didn't realize they were in California and they shipped USPS. Boy were my mail carriers MAD! The crickets had eaten through the box and they had to wrap the box in plastic to stop the rest from escaping!

Well, I guess when you put it that way, ordering online doesn't seem so bad. I'll definately have to look into it, thanks! Also, that story about the crickets eating through the box is hilarious! I can only imagine how that encounter went.
