I really need to buy my own mealworms

[Zynx_Keekeio]

It's just outrageous for me to pay 7$ every 3 days to feed my geckos, I really need to buy my own mealworms and crickets, so where should i buy?

I'd prefer using paypal....
I want a place that is really great that you guys trust and like so I'm not just buying crickets and mealworms that are going ot die.

Anyways I know you aren't supposed to advertise but I really need help.

Rather than suggest a particular place, I will say that my preference is to buy feeders from a place as locally as possible to avoid long transports (of course it doesn't matter if the supplier is 1200 miles or 1500 miles away if you're talking about that kind of distance). I recommend that you do some googling to find suppliers in your general area and then check the BOI on faunaclassifieds.com to see if anyone's had any problems with them. Or, you could post the names of the places you've found and ask people to pm you with feedback; I think that's permissible.

ive only have done this once... just a few day ago... and i was pointed to nyworms.com ... 17.99 shipped for 1000.... out of those that got shipped i think there were MAYBE 2 fatals... best 18 bucks ive spent... sure beat the 5 bucks for 100 of em i was spending... i dunno if i won a prize or just how they run the show at that site, but my wife took the time to count for kicks and curiosity and there ended up being a lil more than 1500!!! so i recomend them as in if i need more i know where im going! lol

hope that helps

I have been buying mine from NY Worms as well.
Good count, fair price and good service.
There is one vendor that I would avoid (for crickets), but I cant mention
their name. If you want to know, PM me

How many mealworms would set you for a month? Since we live in the same city I can give you some of mine. I'm just waiting on my babies to grow a bit. I have a ton of beetles and mealies but i want to make sure they grow.

Let me see, right now Zynx is eating 8-12 crickets everyday
Keekeio can eat 16 crickets but I only give her 8 because she is so darn fat.
My new leo eats, well I'm not sure yet but my guess would be around 8 mealworms

(I want to switch them all over to mealworms, this may proove to be difficult with Zynx as she was terrifyied of the superworms and when I had mealworms she only ate a few so I got her crickets and she went nuts on them but I figure if she has no choice she'll grow to enjoy them)

Then I have my crested but you can't feed the mealworms right? but I only feed him a few crickets each week along with CGD


Anyways for a month I think 806 would hold me off,lol XD

I really thing I'm just going to buy 500 mealworms (let them breed and continue with crickets till I have a reputable about of mealworms so I won't kill the population)

Thank you though XD
