Okay....

Reviewed on November 7, 2025.

I thought the 500 count 1/2's crickets would be a better fit for my chameleon. Unfortunately, half of them are dead and they were delivered on October 29th and it is now November 6th. I do take care of the crickets' water, food ect in a large box with ventilation ect.. So I will be going back to 3/4's since they are bigger and more durable in my opinion.

Love love Josh's Crickets

This is my favorite place to order crickets from. These crickets are hardy and have always arrived alive and thriving. I'm talking these suckers living for 2 months with "proper care" (Fluker's cricket diet and calcium gel). The one time I had an issue where a box I received was missing about half the crickets, I got offered a refund or replacement, and after I opted for just a new shipment, it was shipped out right away. These are not your pet store crickets that will die within a few days. These will chirp for weeks to come and make your herps grow big and strong. I also appreciate the bulk pricing, as I can order a month's worth and not worry!

All arrived in excellent health during a heat wave, not one dead

Reviewed on June 10, 2025.

These are so much better than pet store crickets! I've ordered these several times. It's incredible that they arrive with not one dead cricket, even for an order made during a heat wave. One note of caution - be prepaared for crickets to jump out when you open the box! I opened my first box and got crickets all over my kitchen :)
