Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know my live crickets will arrive alive?

We guarantee live delivery on every order. Our crickets are packed with care using proven shipping methods designed to keep your feeders healthy in transit. If you have any issues with your order, contact our team and we'll make it right.

What makes Gryllodes sigillatus better than other feeder crickets?

The tropical house cricket is a hardier, more resilient species than the common house cricket. Most importantly, it is not susceptible to the Acheta densovirus, the disease that devastated cricket farms across the industry in 2010. Our stock is healthy, active, and nutritious for your animals.

Can I set up a recurring order for bulk crickets?

Absolutely. Many of our customers — from pet stores to large-scale breeders — rely on Top Hat Crickets for dependable weekly deliveries. Get in touch with our team to set up a recurring bulk cricket order that fits your schedule and volume needs.
