Thanks JOSH’S Frogs next time it’ll be wax worms or Dubai Roaches for Jerry He seems to Love him some Juicy Worms 🐛

They were all dead :(

Buying from Josh's Frogs is always way better than buying from my local pet shop. I tried to purchase pinhead banded crickets from the local pet shop multiple times and their "pinheads" are never as small as the ones I purchase from Josh's Frogs. The size difference is so great that when I received my first batch of pinheads I was surprised at how tiny they actually were. If you have something that needs REALLY small crickets to eat, these are perfect! I recently started keeping spiders of various kinds. My Tarantulas like the larger crickets of course, but, the pinheads are perfect for tiny garden variety webbers and jumping spiders. Plus the crickets I get from Josh's Frogs are always healthy and they actually survive and grow as long as I take care of them properly. This means once they get "too big" for my smallest spiders they become "big enough" for my bigger spiders. Which also helps me not need to order as often. I can't speak personally on the flavor but I give it five stars too because the spiders seem to love them. I'm sure small amphibians and lizards would love them too! I didn't individually count each one, but they say they send you a few extra crickets to make up for any who die during the shipping process. I've bought many shipments of crickets of various sizes from Josh's Frogs in the past few months and I've never had a single cricket dead on arrival. They all come out of the container alive and healthy, albeit a little bit thirsty. So be sure to give them something to drink once you unbox them. I highly recommend if you NEED pinheads that are actually pinhead size. If you need small crickets and you can't get them small enough locally you should definitely give these a try because they're in the exact stage I wanted them to be and they always arrive healthy and on time.

I hesitated a lot to purchase bc of the reviews saying all the crickets arrived dead, well I am here to write that most of my crickets arrived alive and well; jumping around everywhere. They are so small and adorable, perfect size for my spider. They look like sugar ants. I wouldve liked to see some label warning about not putting them in the mailbox, its very hot here today and had I not been home they wouldve most likely died from the heat in the mailbox.

I got these last year for my froglets. They loved them. Josh’s frogs has the cleanest, healthiest crickets I’ve ever purchased from anywhere. If you ever have a chance, look the store up online. The staff are INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about frogs, tadpoles and other animals. They care about protecting endangered frog species and are just a great company.

Significantly disappointed in the number that arrived dead. I would have been better off culturing the fruit flies until the mantises were big enough for me to locally buy small crickets. I ordered on the 30th, shipped on the 1st, and arrived on the 4th. They arrived in a cardboard tube, which was not easy to get the alive ones out. Can’t put the cardboard tube in the habitat. A plastic container would have been more efficient, then I could have just opened the lid, and when they were all out remove the container. The large mass of dead crickets is together in the picture. The live ones were moving around and still in the cardboard. This is not just shedding exoskeletons. I literally could count the live ones.....Pretty pricey for that little amount left alive!

Arrived live and well

I've ordered from Josh's Frogs before and will again, and have been completely satisfied. But not so with the pinhead crickets. They were mostly dead on arrival and the rest that I didn't feed my jumping spiders, maybe 30 or so, died in a couple days although I provided a water and feed source for them. I can't entirely fault Josh's Frogs of course. The handling in shipping could have been a big factor. IMO you can trust Josh's Frogs but not some of the individuals handling your packages.
