## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very few dead.
*by D***. on September 23, 2019*

I read a lot of reviews stating that there were a lot of dead ones and there wasn't quite 500, but mine were healthy and plenty enough to keep that simple lizard alive for a while. Anyway here is some advice for keeping them nuisance free as possible. I keep mine in a 5 gallon bucket in the basement, when you go to transfer them into a container do so in low light because light and vibrations make them get jumpy. When it comes to keeping the smell down try to separate the dead ones out as best as you can and don't use that flukers cricket food because it ends up smelling like pure ammonia, it's the worst. I just use a small handful of cat food and some potato slices which they quickly turn into a grey husk and these kind never chirp they just click around a lot, hope this helps.

### ⭐ Bad packaging
*by T***A on November 6, 2019*

Ok so to start this review to let everyone know I work for the Postal Service and have seen live animals and bait come in on trucks before so for my first time ordering 1/4 in crickets for my red-earded turtle I thought I was going to do ok because I have seen some really good sturdy boxes well ventilated for even crickets come through. But with this company which had an amazing story to tell on their site I thought ok I'll give them a try ..I had been getting them from petsmart and they are very expensive seeing as I found out my baby turtle was caught illegally and needed to be fed wild food until I could transition him to a more nutritious packed food but anyway this company was awful I opened the door to a regular packaged box no kind of air vents or screening on the sides and automatically knew this was not gonna be good but thought ok so I cut the tap on the box and immediately they started jumping out everywhere..How in the world was I supposed to transfer them into the critter keeper I bought ?? Other than loosing half to escape almost 200 were dead and I had to dump the box into a black garbage bag and use a cup to scoop them out omg I'll never order from this place again..I was expecting the boxes I have seen come in at work with actual netting holes to where you could see them and even open to transfer them but with this no..There were also 2 half of a rotten potatoe inside with dead crickets stuck to it I felt so bad although they are food for my turtle but still ..I learned my lesson but for further customers it was not worth the 21.00 I spent..and the picture shown with the grey box and ventilated on the sides is not how it arrives ....11/6/2019

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crickets arrived quickly & in very good shape!
*by J***K on March 9, 2021*

I opened the box & it was just filled with crickets & they are the perfect size. I really didn’t see many dead ones. I know ordereding crickets can be tricky because the weather can affect the order & a lot of the time it’s not the fault of the company. Extreme temperatures can & will affect the crickets & is probably the biggest cause of receiving dead crickets. A lot of the time, the incompetence of the postal workers will affect that as well because I’ve had them leave my package clearly stating “live insects” in the sun & killed my whole order in the past. I was pleasantly surprised at the condition my crickets arrived in. Also my order came more quickly than I expected. Overall I’m very happy with my order & intend to order from this place again. 🙂
