Jus got a beardie last Saturday, wanna buy crickets, but in bulk to save money. Any suggestions on where to buy crickets in bulk , would greatly be appreciated.

I recommend Dubias. Bulk crickets smell terribly and they escape easily because they can jump. Dubias don't smell, bite, and they can't jump but they are fast. They cannot climb the sides of plastic enclosures either (like a locking storage tote is what I keep mine in.) They are also more nutritious for your dragon. If you prefer crickets, I've always had great luck with Flukers. If you decide Dubai's, there are two people on this forum that I would highly recommend. Brandon and Hyd..something. I can never remember her name on here. Sorry! I will go look and edit this post.

I'm actually not sure how to edit that post, I just got Tapatalk. It's hdrydr31 and Brandon is SixofWandsTattoo. I always go through Brandon because I never knew hdrydr31 sold them. My dragon went from a skinny little thing to an amazingly healthy and big happy baby. I can't tell you how happy I am that I switched to Brandon's dubias. I don't think Bayne would be half the size he is if I hadn't.

Just to piggyback on Bobbi's suggestion on the Dubias. They retain gut load longer due to a longer intestinal tract; means more nutrition for your dragon. They are silent and hardy. Crickets will eat each other, stink, bite, and jump. If a cricket is left in the cage it will eat your dragon while it sleeps.

I order from http://westcoastroaches.3dcartstores.com/

Its a family business; they are AWESOME!

Great prices; great shipping; I had 1 issue caused by usps; not the vendor; the shipment was replaced upon my request; and then the original eventually showed up and vendor allowed me to keep both shipments to feed off w/o trouble. I recommend this vendor highly.

Also love their hornworms. Everything is always high quality and best prices on the internet....got 1000 small dubias for 30 bucks.

They also have daily deals, etc..

I also have gotten several shipments from Brandon sixofwandstattoo I only recently sold off some of my dubia to thin them out so I don't have as many as brandon has.. My Izzy is still waking up so she's not eating much right now...
I've also used discountdubia and southtexasdragons for dubia
