Child gets reptiles. Dad has to pay for it all. Cost of crickets being delivered to house sounded good after checking the cost at the pet stores. Hard to believe they are worth their weight in gold! After trying out several online sources and having less than optimum results ( 1/4 to 1/3 dead on arrival and/or mass deaths during the first couple of weeks, not to mention the smell and noise), figured it was time raise our own.
Long story short - have been blessed with being able to raise a bunch of crickets. The work is hard, the noise is palatable and I have figured out the smell part. I am willing to share our bounty with those in the Houston area who would like to pick up small quantities at a time. (Under a 1000).
Our goal is to fill the need of those who do not wish to buy and house 1,000+ crickets at a time or pay the high prices of small lots at pet stores.
