Where to buy pinhead crickets in southeast texas?

[Katie Melancon]

I ordered 1k pinheads from premium crickets, and paid for overnight and still half of them were dead . My frogs are tiny, like pinky fingernail size. I am going to run out of crickets, I need to buy some more. Is there a better website, or a store in my area I haven't found? If anyone knows please let me know.

Also these are just common american toads, I think. I will let them go at a lake or pond. I just want them to be a bit bigger, so they don't get eaten so easy. I found them in a parking lot puddle after heavy rain, about 3 weeks ago. I caught 13 and they were tadpoles. After they grew legs, and absorbed their tails they wouldn't eat for over a week. They didn't like the ants, and other tiny bugs I found. They were starving pretty much. All but 1 is doing better now. I have Divided the smaller ones into other, smaller tanks, so maybe they can eat more easily. I will take very good care and make sure he or she eats and doesn't die. So don't be worried okay. I will put some pictures, you will see the one I am talking about, he or she is really malnourished. I put about 15 little crickets into its new cage with it, hopefully it will be able it eat them. I check on him often and it looks like he can't fit the cricket into his mouth. He does eat soil mites, I am having trouble find more of them.

You can get fruit flies culture, these guys should do for your tiny frogs for start. I believe you can get them anywhere where dart frog supplies are sold.

Good idea. I went to petco, and they didn't have any at all. I will go to petsmart and see if they have any. Thanks Lija.

No problem you can order them too.

Hi, I'm not sure where in TX these people are but try Buy Live Crickets and Worms | Armstrong Crickets

If ordering FFs get D. hydei (about pinhead size = 1/8 in.). The D. melanogaster FFs are very tiny (about 1/16 in.); but might work for the smallest toadlets. If very hot there now, ordering FF cultures might not work OK. Could also feed springtails for the smaller guys. Good luck !

The temperature is normally 90F-95F. 85F on a good day. I'm thinking maybe thats why so many pinheads died on the way here, even though it was overnight, next morning. Adults should be able to survive a 1-2 day journey, I would hope. I could buy some pinheads and adults on monday, I figure by the time the pinheads are gone the adults would have already made more. I didn't see any cold packs either for a shipping option. So, yeah...

So Has anyone bought crickets from these sites recently or within the past few months? Any experiences would really help out, thanks everyone.
Ghann's.com, Flukerfarms.com, Mulberryfarms.com and Armstrongcrickets.com. Also, would banded crickets get along with house crickets?
I currently have some house cricket pinheads. If I bought banded cricket pinheads, could I put them in the same container, or would it be best to buy another storage bin for them? Thanks again for reading all that..
