Excellent live food quality
The locusts I ordered were in much better shape than they ever are buying from the pet shop. Only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the delivery cost making it more expensive than purchasing from pet shop (especially as you can only order so many due to speed they are eaten).

Hi Emma, thanks for your review! We charge a bit more for shipping so we can ensure that the livefood arrives to you in the best condition possible, we hope the slight extra cost is worth the quality you receive!
