Anyone have any recommended and good sites to order crickets from? Never ordered online before.

Joshsfrogs.com is a great place to start. I’ve never personally bought crickets from them cause I honestly can’t stand them. I feed Discoid roaches from Joesbugz.com (Dubia are illegal in Fl) but Joshsfrogs.com has a plethora of options of live feeders, not just crickets. And for a really good price point IMO.

I just hate that they smell and they’re canabalistic (spelling) and honestly annoying if you miss one and it’s hiding in a 75 gal tank and can’t find it lol. Plus my two dragons need about 100 a day so that can get pricey for me cause I also have a crestie, Leo and Pac-Man frog

Ahh gotcha I have 1 beardie and he goes through about 20 a day. I was thinking of switching to Dubias but he just loves crickets!

I used to raise crickets for a number of years but changed to Dubia as their nutrition is just soo much better and you get more bang for the buck with them as dubia are much more meatier and hold nutrients in them..

I've used Armstrong Crickets, Ghans crickets

If you look in the general care section at the top post for new comers in there I've written info on care also in there is the breakdown of the feeders..
So 1 dubia can equal around 6 crickets

We used Josh's frogs and they were good. All got here alive and on time. We used roachking this last time though. And kfcfeeders as well because they are a little cheaper for bulk. We are using dubia roaches now however rather than crickets as the vet said crickets are not too good for dragons.

I forgot to add the vet said that dubias are better in protein and calcium. Our dragon has MBD, so she said that the dubias would help with that a little. And the crickets are more likely to carry parasites than the dubias too.

Let us know how the dubia are. They just started selling them. I loved their crickets, wasn't so impressed with their super worms so I'm interested in seeing how their dubia are.

Thanks for the input. I may order from them next time. I've also ordered plants and bio stuff for my frogs, everything has been good.
