This is amazing news and blows the prices away on everyone's crickets for that matter. Can't believe I was buying crickets @10¢ a piece for this long

I've never ordered from rainbow, but I think next time I order(which I very rarely do since I have a shed full of feeders lol) I'll try rainbow.
This isn't a shot at Josh's frogs or anywhere else, but they also sell bandeds, and they are definitely better than regulars, but I have noticed the ghanns crickets are even less smelly and live longer than the others. I'm not sure if something they're doing is making the crickets healthier, that other places aren't aware of or what, but I haven't been able to match them in quality from anywhere else. Makes me sleep well knowing my animals will likely not get parasites from them too since i don't think they deal with any reptiles in their facilities(which is always a risk, even small, with places that do).
That all said, ghanns are more expensive, and for my 1 chameleon on special occasions. I'd still happily buy crickets from rainbow, Josh's frogs, etc. They're still at a much higher quality than the others and you shouldn't have problems with die off or smell. I think if I had a large collection that needed regular cricket feedings, I'd spend the little extra on ghanns for the quality though.

They ship crickets Mon-Wed via USPS. If they ship Mon in Oakland, CA I get them here in Pueblo, CO by Wednesday morning.

I only had 1 die in shipping out of the 500 I've ordered. It got stuck in the box fold lol

I just got 500 today, none dead. They always package everything really well. I also ordered one of their feeder lizards too, another green anole because I love my other one so much, as a pet. But they sent two house geckos instead by accident. This is the first error I've had from them! Now I have two pet house geckos to figure out I guess, whoops. They are super cute and they lick their eye balls. I have zero knowledge about geckos, will learn fast.

Geckos are sooooo easy

Really? I find the banded to be faster, more agile, and have much higher ups than normies. At least in my experience. I've also found feeding bee pollen keeps them hyper lol
