I had to wait more than 10 days for 500 crickets. The delivery guy finally came today and the container was completely EMPTY! NO crickets! Just two small black cube things. I am so upset, what a waste of my time. When I ordered Flukers through Chewys themselves I had the order within a day and all alive!!! Never again Josh!

I got handed my order of live crickets from the delivery drivers hand and well over half of the super small crickets were dead as soon as I opened it, put them in my tank I was planning on raising them in and shortly after almost all the rest have died..I just now reordered another 1,000 today of some bigger ones hoping they’re more resilient.
Half dead
Packaged with a food cube that moved around a lot and killed half of the crickets. Never ordering from here again

Micro crickets
These were a lot smaller than a fourth. They were micro like a pen top and a fourth of them dead.

Not what I expected..
Not many stores sell pinhead crickets, so I was really excited to order these. About 80% of them arrived dead, a week later only 5 are left. Not only were majority
Not many stores sell pinhead crickets, so I was really excited to order these. About 80% of them arrived dead, a week later only 5 are left. Not only were majority deceased on arrival, there was not 500 in the package- probably not even close. It's a shame these are so hard to find.
The tiny amount and size of cricket
Crickets were smaller than fleas not one lived to be big enough to feed the lizard and I don’t believe there were 1,000 either, maybe 100 completely unsatisfactory
