I saw these on Amazon and decided to give them a try. It sucks having to drive to Petco every few days for crickets in 115° heat here in Arizona. I was shocked. He loves these things.There are only two issues. One is the fact that a lot of these are so gigantic and you can't cut them because my gecko won't eat them if the exoskeleton is broken open.The other issue are the wings. They don't seem to digest very well, at least in my spotted guy. So I take tweezers to grab them, and scissors and cut them off.Yes these have to be refrigerated after opening. I wish the label said how long before they go bad.When they've been refrigerated, I get them ready on a paper plate. I find the smallest ones first, cut the wings off and then I microwave them for 5 seconds at 60%. One of them is usually quite a bit warmer than the other, so I feed that one to him last. But he doesn't like to eat cold food and I don't blame him since he's cold-blooded. Seems like it would make him cold from the inside out. It doesn't cook the inside of the grasshopper, it just makes it more room temperature.I haven't had to drive to Petco since I started feeding him these and my gecko loves them so much that he comes out every night looking for them even though I won't give them to him every day. But when I do feed them to him, I hold one with bamboo tongs and he comes running out. It's obvious that he truly truly loves these grasshoppers and is excited to eat them.From my research, grasshoppers are a lot healthier than crickets anyway. So I am really glad that I found these and I'm glad that they are prime and arrive quickly.If the seller is reading this, it would be great to add in the description, how long they can be in the refrigerator before you need to throw them out. But, it really should be on the label.

Unlike comments posted about some other company's wet crickets, these seemed quite fresh when we opened a can. There was barely a smell, maybe a little like cooked brocolli, but even that was faint. In other words, no sign of mold or rot.The other PROs:- the cans are pretty small, which I consider a feature not a bug (sorry!). That means that we can give out the entire can to our flock of 20 chickens in one day & don't have to store an opened can in the fridge.- the crickets are not all the same size. So we can give the roosters the biggest ones and let the chicks eat the smaller bugs without worrying about them choking- our chickens went out of their minds when we doled them out. A hen would grab one and run off into a remote part of the yard to feast on it in privacy. And if she didn't run fast enough, other birds would rush her and try to grab the bug out of her mouth.These crickets are not cheap, but that's OK. They're a special treat that we don't want to give to the birds more than once every day or two. But they're quite nutritious, I'd guess, being so much like the birds' natural food in the wild. And the fact that we haven't (so far, at least) had to worry about quality makes them worth the money to us.The only CON:- the soda-can-like pull-tab tops are really hard to pry open. Our cans required the biggest male in the house to open & even he struggled.Five stars, A+++. We've tried a zillion types of food for our birds, and these crickets are the only option that rivals live meal worms that we buy locally, when it comes to how much the chickens like them.

Unfortunately I thought I found the answer to not running to petsmart every couple of days from crickets, those are expected to be delivered tomorrow. We shall see. Due to some great reviews about their meal worms I decided to get those as well they arrivedyesterday. Mind you these are supposed to be alive, first can opened- no one is squirming. I tried moving them around to wake them but still no movement. They looked good, so I decided to bring some to my bearded dragon. She ate 1 so I figured she'd eat them. I put some in her worm bowl over salad and she didn't touch another. Disappointed. She's finicky but she eats dry worm mixture, flukers dead but fresh packs and finally she would eat 500 of them if I let her eat the ones from pets mart. 500 for $20 I believe. Just trying to get clarification if these were to arrive alive or did I misread?

My chickens go crazy for these. Came all sealed. When opened it smelled regular gross, not rotten gross lol. Will order again.

It isn't as good as the other one when I compared them. My bearded dragon doesn't like it and stop eating it after the first one. I can tell the color and the freshness isn't as good as the other one.

Got these because they are what my beastie likes best. Another popular brand keeps getting so expensive. I am finding they are good but do have some smaller sizes within the same can. Still a good replacement.

The only crickets I've bought that don't have a lot of disembodied legs on the bottom of the can.

My beardie loved them. Keep them in the fridge after opening, and they keep for about a week becoming disgusting.
