Features

  • FEEDER CRICKETS FOR PETS: Premium 1/2 inch banded crickets provide active, nutritious prey for leopard geckos, bearded dragons, frogs, toads, birds, bats, chameleons, scorpions, mantids, and other insect-eating pets.
  • HIGH PROTEIN ANIMAL NUTRITION: Rich protein food cricket source with natural hydration levels and highly digestible nutrition; supports healthy growth, energy, and feeding response when paired with proper vitamin and gut loading practices.
  • LONG STORAGE & HARDY SURVIVAL: Banded crickets last longer than many common feeder cricket species; hardy insects tolerate a wide range of care conditions; excellent colony survival and keeper-friendly maintenance for bulk stock management.
  • ACTIVE PREY WITH SOFT EXOSKELETON: Natural hunting enrichment encourages instinctive feeding behaviors; softer shell and exoskeleton improve digestibility; active movement helps attract attention from reptiles, frogs, birds, and other insectivorous animals.
  • PACKED FOR TRANSIT & EASY CARE: Securely packed with protective egg crate support during transit; simple container setup with food and hydration essentials helps maintain crickets for weeks; lower odor and quieter than many feeder bugs.

    • Disappointed with size
Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1)
I ordered the 72 count 1/2inch crickets. There may be 72 there, but not more than 40 of them are 1/2inch. These vary in size from almost microscopic to nice sized 1/2 inch insects. If there wasn't so many tiny bugs that it basically cuts how many feedings I am going to get out of this shipment I would definitely give 5 stars because everything else looked great. They were well packaged, arrived alive even with three days in shipment and a couple cold nights, most all were lively. Not sure if I will order again, because of the extreme variances in size. I am not exaggerating when I say some of these are outright tiny! If I am paying for 72 1/2inch insects I expect to get insects roughly that size with only minimal size differences. ... show more

    • They arrive alive
Size: 250 Count (Pack of 1)
All my crickets show up alive, every time. Beautiful little buggers too. They live forever too. As long as I feed and water them they just don’t die. Especially the ones that get loose in my house, they just won’t die……

Size: 250 Count (Pack of 1)
1st order 250 1/2” banded crickets. There wasn’t 250. More like 100. But only 2 were dead. I would give 5 stars but I didn’t get the amount I paid for. 2nd order of 250 1/2” banded crickets, amount was closer to 250 but I got crickets smaller than 1/2”.

    • Secure packaging but hard unpacking
Size: 250 Count (Pack of 1)
Satisfied with how secure the crickets were but very surprised to open the box to find the crickets just packed in the box. It made it interesting to transfer them into the cricket tote. But none of the crickets were dead which is a huge plus and they are fast buggers.

    • Real reptile owner!
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
Everything came in alive and they lived longer then most other pet food places! As a person with lots of reptiles that eat crickets this seller is a must for us! Will be buying from here again!

    • Crickets didn't survive transport
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
Review Image by Amazon Customer
Typically great crickets but this recent delivery, all crickets were deceased. Most likely, this was a shipping issue and not Josh’s Frogs. I can't see them shipping dead crickets. I will say it's a bit pricy for decreased crickets, though.

    • Perfect critters and shipped promptly
Size: 72 Count GUTLOADED
These arrived within a week and they are perfect feeder crickets for our frogs and salamanders. We will definitely order them again.

    • These crickets were definitely worth the money.
Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1)
I can’t say from experience about the flavor or smell, but my daughter’s tree frog has no complaints. They arrived alive and kicking(actually jumping).
