Product Description

how banded crickets are different

Have you ever been frustrated with dead crickets?

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.

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.

  • 1/4" crickets are too small for juvenile bearded dragons. Please consider 1/2"

Size matters, 3/4 Win
Even though I have messaged Josh's Frog about incorrect size issues of my order , I ordered 1/4 crickets and I received 1/8 and sent pictures , according to them the size is correct. SMH .. I will NOT BE ORDERING SMALL SIZES FROM THEM AGAIN !!BUT...I will be ordering their 1000 3/4 size crickets and higher. They came nicely packed with only 2 causulities. In my book, that is AWESOME 😄. So thank you Josh's Frog for 3/4 a Win 🙂

5.0 out of 5 stars Scorps love 'em!
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022
Ordered 120 of the 1/4" banded crickets for my bark scorpions. The crickets arrived on time and remarkably well packaged. They're were packed inside a plastic container with a couple carrots and egg crates. This container was then placed into a box. This made it really easy to transfer them to the cricket pen.

Not a single dead cricket. They're all happily hopping around the pen. Sizing is fairly consistent among the entire batch.

So much easier than hoofin' it over to a pet shop. Scorps started NOSHIN' on these the moment I dropped them in. Highly recommend these guys for your feeder cricket needs!

1.0 out of 5 stars Crickets Dead on Arrival both times and size was small compared to other vendors.
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024
Crickets DOA BOTH times. Seller tried to make it right but replacement order took over 10 days and still some DOA on replacement order. I would suggest a little glue or something to keep the carton from bouncing around and smashing the small crickets that don't compare to the correct size. 1/4" crickets actually appear to be 1/8" crickets.
