Live Crickets

Live crickets are a staple feeder for many insect-eating reptiles and amphibians, and this category is where you’ll find them in bulk with overnight shipping included in the price. Packs range from smaller quantities for a few pets to large mixed-size orders for bigger collections, so you can match both quantity and size to your animals’ needs. Orders ship via overnight FedEx Monday through Thursday, and crickets are usually in the box less than 18 hours before you receive them.

Crickets can be paired with other insects to add variety and extra nutrition. Worm add-ons (mealworms, giant mealworms, superworms and waxworms) can ship in the same box as your crickets, or you can browse the main Worms category for stand-alone orders. If you’re looking for alternative staple feeders, Feeder Roaches are another popular option. Keeping your crickets well fed before offering them to your animals is easier with gut-load diets and water sources from the Cricket and Roach Food category, and tiny prey options in Fruit flies, Springtails & Isopods are a natural fit for babies and very small species.

If you place the same cricket order every week, every two weeks, or once a month, you can call us to set up a weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly automatic shipment so your feeders arrive on a regular schedule. For basic husbandry tips on holding and caring for your feeders, see our Cricket Care Sheet.
