Flukers bulk crickets

[gregdabender]

Not sure if anyone here has used them for bulk (1000) crickets...but I tried them last order and I was impressed.

Super low death count when I opened the package. I lost maybe 5-10 and 3 were on the lid smashed. They actully seemed to live quite a bit longer as well. Just my first impression Im ordering another batch to see how well they work this time. On the site they state they are a hybrid cricket meant to endure a little better. While not the cheapest after the shipping.....I think overall the quality and longevity is better.

I had normally bought from a local guy....but the last two times Ive bought from him anywhere from 1/3-1/2 were dead. Those lil knats were everywhere and they smelled.

Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Wonder if there is any truth to the "hybrid cricket" claim. Keep us posted!

I don't much care for flukers myself. Shipping is expensive, the crickets were the wrong size, it took seemingly forever and the time I had a bunch of dead crickets response was slow on a refund request. They finally offered store credit on the crickets, not including shipping. Needless to say I didn't use that credit and went somewhere else.
I buy all my crickets from LLLReptile now and I love them. I always get my crickets by Wednesday and I know the shipping before I order because 2-day is included in the price. They last also, I've raised 1/8" crix to 1" when I only had the one chameleon. Now I order 3 sizes with my little zoo Now LLL just needs to keep Silkworms in stock and I'm set (You hear that LLL!)
But I hope Fluker's works well for others.
