I feed my parrots the fruit/nut version of this treat and they love it. I looked at this one and wonder why some of the versions (depending upon bird size) have to contain propylene glycol. I know this ingredient which has both food and industrial uses can be a bit controversial, but if it isn't contained in all versions of this product then is it at all necessary? I prefer to keep things as simple and natural as possible.

This was the first time I had purchased crickets online. The crickets arrived in the mail between morning and early afternoon, with at least 10 dead, I wasn’t totally surprised considering they were mailed. The crickets were quickly put in their home with food and quenchers, the same thing I do with all my crickets. By the next morning a minimum of 25 were dead. I was extremely disappointed with the number of dead crickets since after that amount dead ended up making the crickets more expensive than they would be if I bought them from the pet store. Although I hate the idea of paying for something dead that can’t be used, I would still give it another chance to see what happens. I would still recommend this mainly because it is a super easy way to do it especially if you have a busy life.

Two things: 1. The crickets are NOT the size stated. They are tiny; not even close to the 1/2 to 1 inch size. 2. They're dead! I gave the benefit of the doubt (anyone can have a bad day, or unfortunate circumstances), and allowed several shipments. In the past 4 shipments, 2 contained ALL DEAD (tiny) crickets. The other 2 shipments contained only a very few living (again, tiny) crickets. 'Healthy live crickets with a long life span' -- uh, NO! Not at all. I am completely, utterly disappointed and am stopping all further shipments of weekly deliveries. I have never received such awful results in shipped "live" crickets. Plus, the cans they're shipped in are scored for easy access, but I have had to use a box cutter to get into them. Not easy. Also, it was difficult for me to cancel on the website under my account, and to confirm said cancellation. I want my money back. Very unhappy. And my reptiles are still hungry. I have had to make unscheduled trips to the pet shops every time to get fresh live crickets, and those pet shops are NOT nearby, and don't always have the large quantity I need in stock. Bad. Very, very bad. This is a Zero Star rating, but I am unable to make that selection here.

My Caique absolutely LOVES these!! They are a great treat/snack. He just loves them. I used to give him one every night, but we've switched things up a bit, to ensure he easts a broader variety of things. But he always gets excited when i pull one of these out. The GREAT part about these is, unlike nutriberries, they don't crumble upon touching and fall to the ground. These are held together by honey, so the little bits stick together pretty well -which is fabulous. They're much less messy. Definitely recommended!

This is by far his favorite food. I give him one (with his other food) every morning before I go to work. I wrap it in a cupcake paper & he's so cute when he opens it. Sometimes he even holds the avicake & eats it from the paper.

I have been ordering from you for a very long time...Avi cakes are an every day food for my birds..they love them and I know they are good for them..great price too..my birds and I love you Drs Foster & Smith!!!

Out of the 1000 I ordered only 6 were dead which I found amazing, shipping was a bit pricy but you add it with the cost of the crickets it was still much cheaper than any of the stores here I did make the mistake of thing to put them into a shallow bin and about 50 got lose, slowly gathering up as I see them, they were a variety in size as I was hoping they would be and very active, your company will be getting all my business from now on,great job and tyvm oh and delivery was bright and early next morning

I did receive the product in a timely manner. That is really the only good thing I can say about this company if you are buying live insects. This is the third or fourth time I have purchased live crickets from this company. I will never order from them again, as every shipment contains mostly dead crickets, even with expedited shipping, only a few arrive alive. I have ordered from other companies and have received shipments with all live and no dead crickets that stay alive for a long period of time. Never from this company. Plus this company charges much higher price for the product as well as shipping and handling.
