Ghann's Cricket farm

[SludgeMunkey]

Best online retailer I have ever done business with.

Prices are in many cases 50% less than all the rest.

A recent order of Phoenix worms, with overnight morning delivery shipping cost me 26 bucks. Total.

The exact same order from another larger retailer cost 32.50, WITHOUT shipping included.

I highly suggest you try them out.

I think I will try them next month for my crickets.

Kurt, tell them you are ordering because of Johnny's testimonial on frogforum.net .

[SludgeMunkey]

I took the time to give them some positive feedback on their own site also. To my surprise, the owner Clay Ghann, sent me a reply the next day. A non-form letter e-mail was very impressive to me.

I will try to remember that. I just got a case on Tuesday so it will be a while before I need more.

Just placed another order with these folks for crickets. I am unable to get pinheads, or any other cricket smaller than 1/3rd of an inch here, so this is a godsend. I'll post the results tomorrow morning when the critters arrive.

Note: I ordered 1000 crickets total in two sizes (1/16th and 1/8th inches), next day air shipping- 36 USD and some change. We have some very hot weather in the near future, so I ordered big to get me through.

[Kurt]

Was that a thousand of each size?

[John]

Fruit flies are your friends!

500 of each

Fruit flies are your friends!

Got cultures of wingless Drospophila here, however, quite a few of my critters have progressed size-wise to the point they are too small.

[SludgeMunkey]

Got the crickets today right on time. I was very impressed yet again.

Turns out they offer special prices for high volume breeders also, although I have not inquired about them.

[John]

I was 1 click away from ordering 1000 crickets just now but for the hot weather waiver. I don't want to risk the crickets biting the dust.

[SludgeMunkey]

They do ship them with cold packs, but I agree with you on this.

I have not figured out what I am going to do this winter yet, as we get about three months of cold not suitable for shipping cricket. On the other hand, by then, hopefully all my critters will be of the "pet shop" small cricket size.

To anyone who decides to order from Ghann's based on this testimonial thread, please mention this site.

I just placed my first order (2000 1/8th inch cricks). I will let you know what it's like when it arrives in the morning.

[John]

Order arrived this morning before 10:30 am (I got the next day morning delivery). I didn't see a dead cricket in the entire 2000 (and there seemed like more than 2000). The outside box is rather amusing and I too am unsure what to do with it but inclined to hold on to it. I would definitely order again, even with the hot weather - as long as they deliver before the heat of the day then everything seems to be alright, even though I had to sign the extreme weather waiver on the live delivery guarantee since the forecast for this area was 100F today (about 38 C).

[John]

Just placed my second order - the 2000 1/8" crickets are almost out (and most are at least 1/4" now). I ordered 2000 3/8" crickets to feed my eight toadlets that started eating only 9 days ago - these things eat and grow faster than anyone would believe.

[John]

2nd order - paid for overnight by 10:30 am, sent by overnight by 3 pm. I signed the heat waiver based on the delivery time I paid for and now I'm hoping they don't die, not to mention now I have to miss work. I've contacted Ghann's but it's now 11 am and I don't see what they can do. *Not happy*

[Kurt]

Bummer.

[John]

No crickets, not even by 3pm. It's now 6pm.

[Kurt]

That just sucks!
