Crickets
Crickets were very small, I paid extra for 6 week crickets. They are very small and most were dead. These crickets make the little ones at Petsmart look like giants. Total waste of money.

We recommend a temperature range of 70-75F during the day and at night to keep their metabolism and immune system functioning properly.

Fluker Farms guarantees live delivery when temperatures are as low as 16 degrees at the destination and/or regional sort facilities during estimated transit times. While most insect growers simply refuse to ship at temperatures below this threshold, Fluker Farms recognizes how much you rely on live insect for your pet’s nourishment and feel you should have a choice in the matter. Therefore, we provide the following options when the weather drops to 0-15 degrees (we will not ship to any areas below 0 degrees).

Which shipping method should I choose? We offer a wide variety of options for shipping your live insects. Using the chart above as reference, our customers can choose which shipping service will work best for them. It is important to take into account that transit times vary greatly between the different options. USPS First Class Mail can take up to 7 business days and Fedex Overnight is a one business day in transit service. What works well for some customers will not always work well for others. If it is during the hot summer months or cold winter months we recommend not using USPS First Class Mail because it is the slowest option and increases the risk of receiving your insects DOA. Make sure to check the weather, carefully taking into account transit time and places that your package will travel through. Also important to consider is the price between the shipping methods: USPS First Class Mail is the cheapest, Fedex Priority Overnight is the most expensive with many options in between. We try to provide as much information as possible but it is ultimately up to the customer to make the best choice based on weather and the quality of delivery services available to your area.

Crickets were very small, I paid extra for 6 week crickets. They are very small and most were dead. These crickets make the little ones at Petsmart look like giants. Total waste of money.
bareley 250 crickets when I opened package and of those 250 200 have been belly up dead for 2 days
When my son just opened our order of crickets there were over half that were dead in the box. Not really sure what to expect. This was my first time ordering live crickets online.
I saw some reviews that said half their crickets arrived dead or all of them were dead but I ordered 1000 crickets in the middle of winter and it took about 3 days to get here and it looked like 90% were still alive. I honestly wouldn’t of cared if half of them were dead because I’m saving a lot vs going to a pet store.
All the crickets were dead upon delivery!! I would look elsewhere for crickets!!!
Our purchase was 3 days late, nothing to do with Flurer’s Farm, postal service. We received them the day after Veterans Day. When we opened them up there were very few deceased ones. Our boy and his anoles are enjoying them. Thanks !!
I ordered 100 3/4” crickets and they arrived in a timely manner. I opened the canister and dumped them into my cricket keeper to find that approx. half were dead. Now that the crickets are in my cricket keeper I can’t just dig around trying to separate live from dead, it was chaos! No big deal I thought, my gecko is gonna eat these fast anyway. Welp, she did eat them fast but still not fast enough. The cricket corpses created a post apocalyptic environment and bred worms and flying bugs. It was a nightmare and a nightmare I won’t be repeating.
I was disappointed about 3 weeks ago when I ordered 500 large and it got here fast from Louisiana to Texas that's why I was disappointed that more than half were dead, believe me they were already prepackaged and were knowingly shipped off dead to me. I took immediate pictures and I counted each dead and each survivor, I had a pile of 257 dead. That's why I I didn't reorder and been buying again at petco but they run out so Im giving fluke another try since I actually did like the size of the ones that made it alive. There are many crickets wholesalers so if Fluker sends me dead ones again, flukers will be dead to me.
Hi! It is my second order. I was very satisfied my ‘first’ order which 1/2 size with 500 crickets because it was the right size and healthy crickets. But this time I ordered 1000 crickets with 1/2 size which same size as the first one but the size is way smaller than the first order. They are way smaller than 1/2 inches.
I am not satisfied about that. Hope to send me the right size crickets for the next time.
