Description

We were! We were always getting dead crickets. After years of shopping around, testing other species, and learning more about crickets, we found Banded Crickets Gryllodes sigillatus! These crickets ship well all year long; they weren't dying when the temperatures would spike a little bit, or if the temperatures unexpectedly dropped. In most climates, they would consistently arrive alive and fresh. They were also living much longer than other species we had experience with. All crickets are bred and raised to provide you the best quality feeder insect. These crickets also naturally contains more protein compared to other species of crickets, which is important for building and repairing tissue in your pets! Our goal is to get insects to customers that are alive on arrival every single time! We understand that sometimes because of extreme temperatures, handling mishaps, or shipping mistakes that just doesn't happen. For the times when your live items don't quite make it, we have a generous 3 Day Life Insurance Policy* on all live insects! When the temperatures drop we switch over to cricket boxes that do not have vents. These boxes do a great job holding body heat from the crickets in the box, keeping them toasty during their winter travels. They also eliminate potentially fatal drafts! The boxes are not airtight, and crickets can still breathe in the box. As oxygen levels decline, the crickets slow down their metabolism and movement. This state allows them to survive shipping. We've had them last over 2 weeks this way! When choosing the size of your feeder insects, we recommend choosing insects equal to or less than the distance between your animals eyes. If you choose insects larger than that measurement, the animals can have difficulties consuming or digesting the feeders. Banded Crickets are the insect of choice for most lizards, amphibians, and other exotic pets. Available in a full range of counts and sizes to fit your needs perfectly. Substrates, feeders, other supplies, live plants, and educational resources all in one place for convenient pet ownership. Conservation Through Captive-Breeding Passionate About Pets & People One-Stop Shopping For Success Our goal is deliver insects and plants that are alive on arrival in all weather! Otherwise, DOAs are covered by our LAG promise. In 2004 by Joshua Willard made fruit fly cultures for his personal dart frogs. As a way to support his frog hobby and to better serve others in the amphibian hobby, Josh started selling the fruit fly cultures, as well as supplies for kits. When you order from us, you’re not just purchasing a product, you’re also purchasing the services and support that are provided before, during, and after.

  • Healthy Crickets That Last Much Longer Than Pet Store Crickets
Set name: 500 Count
Normally, I purchase crickets for our leopard gecko from a local pet store, and I'm lucky if they survive more than a week or so. These Josh's Frogs crickets were a completely different experience. I was a little nervous about ordering 500 crickets at once, but they arrived in great condition and have lasted for weeks with proper care. They have proven to be much more economical than making frequent trips to the pet store. The only challenge was transferring them from the shipping container into my cricket habitat. For my next order, I'll use a larger storage container with ventilation holes and purchase one of the cricket tubes like pet stores use to make handling them easier. Overall, this was a fantastic purchase. The crickets arrived healthy, lived significantly longer than the ones I typically buy locally, and offered excellent value for the price. I will definitely be ordering again. ... show more

  • Quality and delivery thoughtfulness
Set name: 500 Count
Live healthy crickets. Can’t complain at all! We have 2 geckos and we moved to a rural area where there is no pet store or place to get crickets. Another company delivered crickets dead and frozen. Another put the box on the front porch and the 50mph blew them to ??? Thank you for a good service.

I will only order my crickets from Josh’s frogs! They arrive promptly (even overnight sometimes:) they will last me all month long and I rarely have any dead ones. As long as you feed and give them a wet papertowel daily these little buggers stay alive till our last feeding. Thank you so much for having this option! I live 55 miles from any store and rely on getting them mailed. I have one happy lizard! ... show more

  • Excellent quality and service! Forever customer now!! Excellent quality and service! Forever customer now!!
Set name: 1000 Count
Omg don’t think about it just buy them. I have been wasting so much money at pet stores and having so many crickets die the same day I purchased them. I would buy 84 at a time because I live in a rural area so pet stores are an hour away and probably at least half of them would die within 2 days. I bought 1000 of these and not a single dead cricket after 2 weeks. These are amazing quality I am a client for life. Thank you so much Josh’s Frogs. Also delivered faster than stated. ... show more

  • Cricket size not consistent Cricket size not consistent
Set name: 500 Count
I have ordered from here a few times now and have always received exactly what I ordered and mostly if not all crickets were alive. Until this last order, Josh's Frogs has not disappointed whatsoever. However, this last order, I received itty bitty baby crickets instead of the 3/4" that I always get. My three dragons, I'm sure will eat them all the same, but I'm going to go through them much quicker then I typically do. As you can tell from my photos, my almost gone shipment is significantly bigger than my new shipment. I worry they will find a way out of my plastic containers since they are so small. ... show more

  • Open With Care
Set name: 500 Count
We received the bugs timely but there was no inner box—opened the box and with great effort only managed to loose one in the house. Not great there was no inner container to hold them in so once the box was opened—they started to jump out.
