Do the crickets ship with food in the box?

Yes and no. Crickets LARGER than 1/2″… YES. We put several pieces of potato in the box to provide nourishment while in transit. We recommend replacing the potato with a more nutritious food source like one of our special cricket diets once you’ve transferred your crickets into an appropriate holding container (like our Lee’s Kricket Keeper). Crickets 1/2″ and SMALLER… NO. We do not put any potato in the shipping boxes because smaller crickets are more easily injured or killed by the pieces of potato bouncing around in transit.
