Good source in NE USA for pinhead cricket shipments (side question about winter shipping)

[Gentlemangorath]

I've been using Premiumcrickets up until now, but apparently the survival of the crickets gets more unreliable as the temperature overnight drops lower than 30, and it's going to be 27 degrees tonight =/. I'm trying to find a new source, one that might be a little closer to help alleviate this issue, so if anyone knows of anywhere, it's greatly appreciated. I'm not in absolute dire need of crickets, but at this rate I may be out of my 1/8" crickets by the next time I can get some (all of next week is going to have >20 degree overnight temps ), plus I want to get some pinhead crickets for my froglets instead, since a lot of the 1/8"ers have grown a bit too big to be eaten at this point, and it might be easier for one of my froglets to eat.

As for my question, it pertains to the aforementioned issue with >30 degree temps. Does anyone know if I could just barely make it at the temps I'm at? Like I said, I'm kinda running low, and I'm in a do or die situation if I can't find a more local source. Thanks in advance for any input.

Any particular reason you're dead set on pinheads? I used to spawn my own pinheads about 2 years back, and it was an utter headache compared to the other insects I breed for my firebelly toads. A good list would include...

• Buffalo Worms
• Confused Rice Beetles
• Lesser Waxworms
• Bean Beetles
• Grain Beetles
• Springtails
• Dwarf Isopods
• Firebrats

I really could be here all day, and every single one of those insects listed on that list are 10 to 100 times easier to reproduce steadily than pinheads. You can get a small list here...

And there are a ton of caresheets for each of these insects here...

Jump on the bandwagon, give pinheads the slip ;-) Hope this helps!

Where do you get wheat berries for the grand nettles?
