"The girls go crazy when they hear the can open!"
"So, the crickets arrived today in a box that had a 35 lb bucket of kitty litter in it. As you can see in the photo, it was crushed. Inside the can was DISGUSTING! It was a swampy, stinky, rotten mess of what USED to be crickets. I thought these were supposed to be live, but with how they were packed..."
