Still, petsmart doesn't have the right to do that. The crickets in there are probably unhealthy

I think that they are a waste of money and good crickets. I have never had good luck with those.

 I pointed out to a Petco cashier that all of their take out crickets were dead, and he agreed that it was a dumb idea and that most customers just but them individualy. A local pet store sold Bug Boxes by the BugCompany and they were great. They came in a cardbord box with a resealable hole along with food and water cubes. Crickets would last a week. Then they stopped selling them. Damn.

Yeah, they're OK. At my Petco, they're always alive, for a long time. (For crickets, which is like a week) I've been buying cricks from Petco buy the 7 dozen every week or so, and my herps are starting to pile up, so in about 2 weeks, I'm gonna start ordering them from LLLReptile by the 250 count, and only buy them in dozens from Petco when I'm waiting for a shipment. I recommend the "Cricket Keepers" for sale at stores and a few online sites. They have tubes for the crickets to hide in, then, when your ready to feed, take a tube out and tap until you have your desired amount of crickets. I also recommend feeding cricks Fluker's orange cubes (food, vitamins + minerals, minor water source) and Fluker's yellow globs (Calcium LOADED, water source) both are refrigerated, and crickets seem to like them.

My herps:

1.0.0 2 year old Inland Bearded Dragon (Jack) LN: Pogona Vitticeps

1.0.0. 8 year old Red-Eared Slider (Sam) LN: Trachemys Scripta Elegans

0.0.4 few month old Red-Eyed Tree Frogs LN: Agalychnis Callidryas

0.0.1 Madagascar Giant Day Gecko (Mango) LN: Phelsuma Madagascarensis Grandis

COMING SOON: Desert banded black and white California Kingsnake (Lampropeltis Getula Californiae) OR Mexican Black Kingsnake (Lampropeltis Getula Nigrita) MY FIRST SNAKE!!!!!! In a 40 gallon tank in Seth's home sometime in Summer 2009!

My random pets:

1.0.0. Australian Shepherd/Choco lab mix (family's)
1.0.0. Mini schnauzer (family's)
1.0.0. Guinea Pig (brother's)
1.0.0. Domestic Short Hair (mine)

Steve Irwin Rocks!!! He will be missed. (I hope.)

well we all know petco & petsmart are stupid when it comes to herps & inverts

The store is, not the workers, and I'm not just saying that because I work at Petco. But yes, the pre-packed crickets are ridiculous.
