Ordering Live Food
There are many places to order live feeders, so it can be tough to decide exactly where to start looking. The price of the product, plus the shipping price, should be considered before purchasing. Make sure to check several companies for making a choice on where to order.
Sunshine Mealworms is a company based out of Oregon. They offer mealworms, giant mealworms, superworms, crickets and waxworms. They have great prices on some items, but you have to email them for a quote on shipping. Shipping prices vary, but usually aren’t too expensive.
Ghann’s Crickets offers great prices, but shipping can be pricey. They are located in Georgia, so if you are in AL, GA, NC, SC, or TN, you can usually use ground shipping. In the summer time, VA is also considered. This is a great option for those that live in these states. The prices are usually pretty decent. During the summer time they offer “Crickets-In-A-Can”, which is 100 crickets that is delivered via USPS. This is a nice option for those with only a few reptiles and do not want to order 500-1000 crickets.
Worm Man’s Worm Farm is another east coast seller, in New Jersey. The prices seem a little steep, but they do include shipping. Personally, the prices would turn me away. I’d rather see a lower price first, then add shipping. Some of the prices are okay though, including mealworms.
reptilefood.com offers pretty decent shipping prices, plus great product prices. There sizing seems to be different from other sellers. Their 1/4″ cricket is equivalent to 1/8″ crickets are other places. Maybe it just depends on the order, I’m not sure.
