I went and checked that site, for six more dollars I get four times that amount of crickets. The minimum order where I get them from is 1,000 crickets though. My supplier is called The Cricket Factory. Here's a thought, get more Leos, then you'll need 1,000 crickets, lol. I'm kidding. It would probably be cheaper just to buy them weekly from a pet store than to pay shipping costs, I don't know if you have a local pet store though. It took me a while to find a good supplier too. Nearly half of what I pay is for shipping. 1,000 crickets for $13.00 +$10.00 for shipping. Feeding one Leo (or one Lana, lol) eight to ten crickets a day (avg.) only costs $7.00 a week. Shop around. Good luck in your search. Maybe you can find out who supplies the local pet store, if there is one, and cut a deal with the manager to buy a set number of crickets weekly. It's worth a try.

Thanks for that I think i'll stick to mealworms and roaches, lol...

The closest petshop around me always seems to have issues. Half their feeders are dead and all the prices went up. I was trying to diversify her feeders but ehh i can live without crickets..

If you can get to a pets mart... you can buy as little as 1 cricket if you would like....

Very few

I have seen very few websites that have 100 feeders for sale.

You could go to a local store and buy what you need and then gutload them yourself.

That is what I do and I only have two Leos. I am going to be raising Mealworms because of the scare that occurred last year. I want to make sure that I can feed these Leos.

I was surprised that I when I last made my purchase that the pet store asked if I wanted them dusted.

I gutload them first and the I dust them.

I buy extra crickets and a few die but, I still get enough to feed my Leos each week.:D
