Cricket sources

I look to my colleagues here to help me locate a good cricket source...

esp one that is comfortable with winter shipping.

I need to order lots of 2-3,000 1/2 inch

Mine come from Middlebrook's. From Mississippi to Arkansas overnight usually by priority mail.

If you need that many I'd say setup a wholesale account with Ghanns in GA. Or try LLL.

Crickets Direct | Buy Crickets and worms for your animals cheap!

I use these guys their sizes and counts seem more reliable and consistant than Ghans. I have orderd from both several times and I much prefer cricket direct especially for their pinhead size.

Ghann's had the best quality (clean and free of other critters in the box) when I was purchasing lots crickets but towards the end of my cricket buying I was getting some major short counts with them. Sizing is usually deadon for me in the past.

I was also using Armstrongs as well cause they were cheaper than Ghann's. There was always large overcounts with them but a lot of die offs in the first couple days and usually filled with all kinds of wild critters to rival King's 'The Mist'.
Sizing is sometimes off with Armstrongs but not more than a dozen in a 1K box.

Winter shipping was no issue with either but not cheap with Ghanns.

I wish Lucky Lure was still around.

Not to crazy about these guy's. Everytime I ordered from them the shipping quotes were always different and I ordered the same sizes and counts every month, go figure!

I agree with the majority, Ghanns is the best that I have dealt with. They usually have the best prices as well.
