• Live Arrival Guaranteed - Boxes of live crickets for sale are packed with a 10% over-count to cover a small number of losses that may occur in shipping
• In the winter, live reptile food, crickets in particular, may feel cold to the touch and seem lethargic or even appear to be dead - allow them to warm up slowly and avoid putting them in a hot room or directly under a heat lamp as rapid temperature changes can be harmful
• Crickets will usually recover if given time to acclimate (sometimes it will take a few hours), even if they appear dead on arrival
• When insects are first received, they will probably have some degree of stress from shipping - open all shipping boxes and remove the insects immediately upon arrival
• In extreme winter temperatures, your shipment may arrive with heat packs, which help to keep the insects at a safe temperature during transit, but can cause overheating if packages are left closed up after delivery
• Cut a hole in one side of the box and shake crickets into a bin, then cover bin with screen as they require lots of air; keep the cricket container out of direct sunlight and drafts
• Keep crickets at temperatures of 70F- 80F
• Crickets require high quality food and adequate water in their diets - lack of proper food and water will lead to losses and also cause crickets to prey on their cage mates
• Place cricket chow or mashed up dry dog food in the bottom of the plastic bin; cricket quencher or quartered potato are needed for moisture; provide fresh cricket food for the crickets at all times; never put a bowl of water in the cricket container, the crickets will drown; instead use cricket cubes or other cricket safe products that provide both food and moisture
• Do not combine different sizes of crickets because larger crickets will prey on smaller crickets
• Crickets have a fairly short lifespan - the larger the cricket, the older it is (over 3/4 inch: 3 weeks; smaller than 1/2 inch: 4+ weeks depending on proper care)
• Contains 2,000 live crickets for reptiles, wild bird, poultry or fishing bait
