Josh's Frogs 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.

They’re tiny and adorable, perfect for my baby Gecko. But I will say, the package could use some work? The food blocks that were packaged with them crushed a LOT of them in transit. I’d recommend them to be attached to the side of the shipping tube or something next time? Still have a decent amount, but between the extreme TX heat and the two heavy food blocks the majority did not stand much of a chance.

This was exactly as advertised, and it came quickly.

This is my 1st ordering Any live anything, I had wild Green tree frogs , wanted me to take care of it 100s (literally), so since the froglets are so little I order 500 "PINHEAD CRICKETS" they are smaller than knats, and they are TO SMALL for all these froglets. ... I was worried about the week wait, I ordered on a Saturday and they were in the mailbox Wed. (There In MI , im in GA) EXTREMELY QUICK! I contacted Customer service at Josh's frogs and they're response was was within a couple hours (if that).. so to Josh's CS👍🏻👍🏻!!!! I ended up reordering From their website yesterday. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!! THX For A pleasant experience! {WISH rest of world companies were that AWESOME..JS}

The media could not be loaded. I hesitated a lot to purchase bc of the reviews saying all the crickets arrived dead, well I am here to write that most of my crickets arrived alive and well; jumping around everywhere. They are so small and adorable, perfect size for my spider. They look like sugar ants. I wouldve liked to see some label warning about not putting them in the mailbox, its very hot here today and had I not been home they wouldve most likely died from the heat in the mailbox.

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.

Good quality (seemed like a majority arrived alive- couldn’t really tell if there were any dead)Fast shipping (arrived in 2 days).They’re tinier than expected, but I also didn’t really pay too much attention to the size when ordering (so that was my fault). But they are perfectly fine for my 3 1/2 week old chameleon. I’ll probably be ordering more of this size and maybe one size up.Plus a perk is that they can’t climb those plastic cricket enclosures!

The packaging seemed okay. Until I opened the package and more than half of them were dead already.
