I am curious if you guys order crickets by the bulk. If so how many and how long did it last for? Also what type of chameleons and how old are they.
read if you have 4 chameleons are more

I have around 40 adult panthers and they go through about 2,500 crickets and 300 silkies a week. About once a week I mix in some other feeders, grasshoppers, dubias, bannana roaches, etc. Ohh they range from 70g to 180g and from 9 months to 2.5 years old.

I had a friend ship me up some from FL. He could only spare like 15 at the time (which wasn't too long ago), so I can't really spare any right now. But hopefully in a few months. I will definitely keep you posted on that. I have only fed off a few and the chams absolutely love them, so keeping my fingers crossed that they reproduce quickly.

Yea I started just like you...I had four for a year or so so then boom...lol I got addicted, don't let this happen to you...lol No it relieves so much stress...maybe I didn't need 40 but I guess I just have a lot of stress

I get my crickets from www.ghann.com. I buy about 2000 every 4 - 5 weeks for my 7 chameleons. Silkworms I get from mulberry farms.

Is there a flat rate for shipping crickets at ghann? I can't see how much shipping is, I think I have to check out in order to see it. Or can you compare prices with lllreptile. Thanks

The prices are about the same if you do overnight shipping. They only ship by UPS ground if you live in a state near them. Which I don't.
Having to do overnight shipping sucks, but the quality of the crickets is always outstanding and I've never had potato bugs (or whatever those little hairy things are called) in shipments from them.
They might be cheaper than LLL if you need crickets of different sizes since you only pay for shipping once, but I'm not sure.

What did you do to keep them all from seeing each other? I need to find something to put between my cages so my veileds don't see each other.

I went to a sign place (you know those plastic looking sings) and got pvc board to put between most of my enclosures. You can also use cardboard but if it gets wet then its shot. At the sign places they have different types of pvc board, some are fairly cheap, go with those.

the cheaper kind of pvc board is much like plastic cardboard. easy to use. i actually put it on the inside of my screen cages to limit area of possible nail damage.
just the 2 sides that butt up against the other cages. it cost me less than $35 for 4' x 8' sheet (i use green)

PS i have 4 chams order 1000 crickets biweekly (also feed many to bearded dragon: she could eat 1000 if i let her)
