Pinhead Banded Crickets (250 Count)

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.

Box was not sealed thoroughly. My housemate brought it inside and left it on the kitchen table, and crickets had escaped all over my kitchen by the time I got home. Larger sized crickets from Josh's Frogs haven't had this problem.

Good customer service, good product. Would order again.

100% all dead...

Well packaged, the crickets were all alive and lively!

Every single cricket arrived dead. There was not a single living cricket. I received two little chunks of hydration gel for the crickets, a piece of egg crate and zero crickets.

Perfect size!

I've ordered from Josh's Frogs before and will again, and have been completely satisfied. But not so with the pinhead crickets. They were mostly dead on arrival and the rest that I didn't feed my jumping spiders, maybe 30 or so, died in a couple days although I provided a water and feed source for them. I can't entirely fault Josh's Frogs of course. The handling in shipping could have been a big factor. IMO you can trust Josh's Frogs but not some of the individuals handling your packages.
