We were always getting dead crickets. After years of shopping around, testing other species, and learning more about crickets, we found Banded Crickets Gryllodes sigillatus! These crickets ship well all year long; they weren't dying when the temperatures would spike a little bit, or if the temperatures unexpectedly dropped. In most climates, they would consistently arrive alive and fresh. They were also living much longer than other species we had experience with. All crickets are bred and raised to provide you the best quality feeder insect. These crickets also naturally contains more protein compared to other species of crickets, which is important for building and repairing tissue in your pets! Our goal is to get insects to customers that are alive on arrival every single time! We understand that sometimes because of extreme temperatures, handling mishaps, or shipping mistakes that just doesn't happen. For the times when your live items don't quite make it, we have a generous 3 Day Life Insurance Policy* on all live insects! When the temperatures drop we switch over to cricket boxes that do not have vents. These boxes do a great job holding body heat from the crickets in the box, keeping them toasty during their winter travels. They also eliminate potentially fatal drafts! The boxes are not airtight, and crickets can still breathe in the box. As oxygen levels decline, the crickets slow down their metabolism and movement. This state allows them to survive shipping. We've had them last over 2 weeks this way! Banded Crickets are the insect of choice for most lizards, amphibians, and other exotic pets. When choosing the size of your feeder insects, we recommend choosing insects equal to or less than the distance between your animals eyes. If you choose insects larger than that measurement, the animals can have difficulties consuming or digesting the feeders. Josh's Frogs Pinhead Banded Feeder Crickets are about 1/16", which is a great size for most: ## Features - Superior to the European house cricket, Banded Crickets have a longer lifespan, are easier to keep, and are healthier for your pet reptiles and amphibians!

But next time it’ll be a Bit bigger Pinheads Cause these are pretty Tiny 📏 *by on Reviewed in the United States September 19, 2026* Thankyou Josh’s Frogs for the Speedy delivery and Totally ALIVE Pinheads !! They are too small unfortunately for my Jumper Jerry BUT I’d order from Josh again at anytime. I grew up In Owosso and Shiawassee Cty where Josh’s is located and it’s only about a 40min drive so that Helps But Either way , was shipped securely and fast ! Thanks JOSH’S Frogs next time it’ll be wax worms or Dubai Roaches for Jerry He seems to Love him some Juicy Worms 🐛 ### ⭐ Order *by on Reviewed in the United States July 28, 2026* They were all dead :( ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiny pinheads, all alive and healthy on arival! *by on Reviewed in the United States August 24, 2023* Buying from Josh's Frogs is always way better than buying from my local pet shop. I tried to purchase pinhead banded crickets from the local pet shop multiple times and their "pinheads" are never as small as the ones I purchase from Josh's Frogs. The size difference is so great that when I received my first batch of pinheads I was surprised at how tiny they actually were. If you have something that needs REALLY small crickets to eat, these are perfect! I recently started keeping spiders of various kinds. My Tarantulas like the larger crickets of course, but, the pinheads are perfect for tiny garden variety webbers and jumping spiders. Plus the crickets I get from Josh's Frogs are always healthy and they actually survive and grow as long as I take care of them properly. This means once they get "too big" for my smallest spiders they become "big enough" for my bigger spiders. Which also helps me not need to order as often. I can't speak personally on the flavor but I give it five stars too because the spiders seem to love them. I'm sure small amphibians and lizards would love them too! I didn't individually count each one, but they say they send you a few extra crickets to make up for any who die during the shipping process. I've bought many shipments of crickets of various sizes from Josh's Frogs in the past few months and I've never had a single cricket dead on arrival. They all come out of the container alive and healthy, albeit a little bit thirsty. So be sure to give them something to drink once you unbox them. I highly recommend if you NEED pinheads that are actually pinhead size. If you need small crickets and you can't get them small enough locally you should definitely give these a try because they're in the exact stage I wanted them to be and they always arrive healthy and on time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Josh's Frogs Pinhead Banded Crickets (250 Count) - Fluker's Orange Cube Complete Cricket Diet, Gut Load Food for Feeder Insects and Live Crickets, Provides Vitamins, Minerals, and Hydration, 6 oz - Fluker's High Calcium Gut-Loading Cricket Diet, 11.5 oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19754158-joshs-frogs-pinhead-banded-crickets-250-count](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19754158-joshs-frogs-pinhead-banded-crickets-250-count) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
