Highlighted Reviews
"They arrived alive after two failed attempts with another vendor. They lived 2-3 weeks. Only issue is they were very small compared to what a medium cricket normally looks like so when I order again I’m going to go up one size"
"This is the second time that I ordered live insects and they come dead. I think you guys should upgrade the boxes for those kind of orders. They die before the arrival and I can’t feed my reptile with dead crickets."
Bottom Line
Considering the mixed reviews and usage of alternative products mentioned, use with caution of live insects from this manufacturer. More consistent packaging and revised shipping methods are warranted.
