Fluker's Live Crickets, 500 Count Feeder Insects for Reptiles, Chickens, and Birds, Medium (Approx. 1/2")

Crickets arrived alive, healthy, and active!! Exactly what I needed for my reptiles. The packaging were extremely secure, and there were barely any dead ones on arrival. I’m definitely ordering again; great quality and fast shipping every time I purchased! Also definitely recommend this brand; seems them to taste good for our amazing reptiles!!

Great product

I’d say about 1/2 were dead on arrival. I could smell the dead crickets from my driveway after work before I even saw the box on my front porch. This is the 3rd order of 500 crickets in a row where about 1/2 were dead before I even opened the box. Not to mention the other bugs in the box with them. Little caterpillar-looking things, beetles, and what I assume were fungus gnats. Not only are the crickets dead, no matter what I do to the live ones, they don’t last and most will die off before I can use them. I gut load them as soon as I get them, but it doesn’t seem to matter.I’ll be finding another supplier for my crickets. I’ve wasted too much $ with Fluckers which sucks because they used to be the best quality around.

I don't know how to write this review without sounding like it's a paid advertisement. I have no affiliation with Flukers. I honestly don't know the first thing about them, other than they also make cricket food that I've purchased in my local pet store. Now on with the review!Before trying Flukers, I ordered medium-banded crickets from several other companies based on price and delivery speed. I've been pretty disappointed with those orders. I've gotten wild variations on cricket sizes and I usually get what looks like half the amount I ordered.I've placed my last few orders with Flukers, and they have been the most consistent. They get to me relatively fast, about three business days (I'm in Atlanta), and they're packed well and mostly alive. I have no idea if there are 500 in the small box, and I could never count them. But, I'm happy with the amount. The big difference seems to be the way they're packed. They use egg crate material that's neatly layered in the box to keep the little guys and gals from getting tossed around like beads in a maraca. And, the price is great. If I got the same amount of crickets from my local pet store it would cost 10 times what I pay. Overall it's a great value and I plan to keep ordering from Flukers.I've received nothing in return for this honest review. So there.

The media could not be loaded. Arrived 3 days early with minimal dead as expected South Florida weather but made up with what looks to be around 500 or close enough. Fed them carrots and cucubers which they go crazy for after a long transit. I keep mine in a dark 5 gal bucket with vermiculite on the bottom to absorb their natural stink and later add a small deli cup of moist soil to hopefully get them to lay some eggs so by the time my giant day geckos polish these off the second generation will be hatched and ready to go. I've had very good results buying crickets from this seller as they ship out of Louisiana. So not too long to get to south Florida. Haven't let me down yet. The only thing but wasn't their fault is I needed to lay the box screen side down for a bit before opening the box to let a bunch of those tiny crazy ants all come out. They prob made their way in there some where along the way. They are just a pain in the a** to get rid of out of my bioactive enclosure. Once a colony sets up shop it's hard to move them without killing everything else with them. Some times the only thing that will move them out is if a different species of ant moves in and kicks them out. It's easier to get rid of some of the larger sized ants then those tiny ones.

Well feed crickets great for my bearded dragon

Not really sure how many were alive, alot of dead bodies and it was full of dermestid beetles and larva

Great for itty bitty Tini bugs…. Great packaging
