Crickets in Bulk

Now that we have gotten into a routine for feeding Muddie, we were finding that we had to go to the pet store every three days to maintain a supply of live crickets for her. Thus, as a lover of Internet shopping, I found some cricket farms that sell live crickets and deliver.

This morning the FedEx truck pulled up and we got our first shipment of 500 crickets (from Fluker Farms). I carefully peeled the tape off the package, opened one side of the box and quickly closed it again when I realized that the crickets were loose in the box.

I went and got the plastic bin that we are going to keep the crickets in, opened the box with the crickets and quickly dumped everything in. I am proud to say that no crickets escaped. I was also impressed that there were only about three dead crickets in the bottom of the box. Not bad!

After getting everything back inside and settled, I even picked up a few crickets for Muddie to sample. I am okay as long as I pick the cricket up by it's leg, I just hate to feel it moving in my closed hand.
