SELECTIVE BREEDING
Crickets (Acheta domesticus) from multiple farms throughout the country were mixed and bred for over 60 generations into a special strain called the “American Mix”. This is why our Acheta domestica have less mortality upon delivery and survive longer after they arrive, up to 8 weeks with proper care and nutrition. We recommend a temperature range of 70-75F during the day and at night to keep their metabolism and immune system functioning properly. These insects are a rich source of protein and when gut loaded properly offer many other nutritional benefits to reptiles. Buy your reptile the best feeder insects for sale online today.

Live Delivery Guarantee Winter
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).
1) Ship Without Guarantee (SWG)-You can choose to have your insects shipped when the night time temperatures are between 0-15 degrees by selecting the SWG option, however, we cannot guarantee live delivery and NO REFUND will be given for insects that do not arrive alive.
2) Hold For Weather (HFW)-If you choose the HFW option, your order may be held up to 7 days while we wait on improved shipping conditions. If after 7 days the weather doesn’t improve enough for your order to be shipped, it will be cancelled and any charges refunded.

every week we order 250 3/8” crickets and my lizard LOVES them, but we don’t get as many crickets as we order. when we feed him, we count the amount of crickets he eats so he doesn’t overeat (we count until 40). he runs out of crickets in 2-3 days, meaning we only get 80-120 crickets per order and not 250.
This was my QST time buying online, my neighborhood petstore was getting pricey with Gerald (our bearded dragon) growing so much and eating about 45-60 small crickets a day. I liked that I was able to purchase so many, but here were the issues: 1.) Some (a lot) arrived dead, but it still saved me money, I paid $18 for 500 and I would pay $18 for 200 locally. I have fed Gerald at least 4 days and still have quite a bit left. 2.) There were other insects in the box, 3 small black worms and some fruit flies. 3.) There were at least 5 huge crickets that scared the beegeezus out of me as I tried to get them out of the canister. 4.) I live where it is pretty hot right now 100° and it will get hotter through August and humid so, I might have to really contemplate if ordering will be a good idea. But, when it gets fresher I would probably order again.
This company has great customer service. Not getting into detail but my order got screwed up (probably unintentionally mistake), but without hesitations, my order was fixed and just got my crickets in the mail today. 99% alive! I can now start my cricket colony. Thank you!
About 95% percent of my crickets where still alive when they arrived. I paid for 4 day shipping and it arrived in 2! Very satisfied and will be buying again!
just like all the other company exploiting this bogus pandemic, now crickets are shortage. consider, breeding crickets is about the easiest thing to do. from laying the eggs to 1inch size. its about 6 to 8 weeks, so explain how their can be a shortage? very disappointed with the exploiting of this. 2 other online cricket farmers have no problem selling you a 1000 so long.
Cintapede died a day after eating from this batch. Tarantulas seem fine. Box had carpet beetles also.
I live over 60 miles from anywhere that sells crickets and the last few times I went there they didn't even have any. So to be able to order crickets and have them come in three days is amazing and they were almost all alive. Especially with winter coming this is a game changer for sure.
Ordered twice in the past month. Haven't had any issues. I hope service continues to be this great!
Great place for reptile food!
