Review: Great value, high quality - Lots of whole freeze dried crickets that are good sized and fresh. My chickens went crazy for them. Great value for the large quantity.
Review: Great quality crickets, chickens love them!! - My chickens love these crickets they can’t get enough of them. I like these better because on their website they are stated as sun dried and gut loaded, so my chickens are getting a more nutritious snack. They do come from China, but it seems they go through a lot of testing so they are safe. The quality is really good you get large whole crickets, not just a bunch of small smashed pieces. I also get the soldier fly larva from this company because they are sun dried also and you can see the quality in them compared to other brands. I will continue buying this as a snack for my chickens because I want them to have the best.
