Twin Cities Crickets is a Minnesota cricket farm where we raise all of our feeder crickets on site at our farm. Our banded crickets can be picked up by appointment at our urban cricket farm in the Twin Cities Metro area or shipped directly to you from the cricket farm.

We know that obtaining your feeder crickets locally provides a healthier and livelier product for your pet and a better value for your purchase. Since a lot of crickets can die during long multi-day shipping adventures we prefer to focus on providing feeder crickets to customers in the Midwest where we can get your live crickets to you with one-day shipping.

Based in the Twin Cities Metro Area of Minnesota, Twin Cities Crickets provides locally-raised banded feeder crickets available for pick-up and shipping.

Our live feeder crickets: Tropical Banded Crickets (Gryllodes sigillatus), are the perfect feeders for reptiles, spiders, and birds.  Not only great reptile food, these live bugs are loved by frogs, iguanas, bearded dragons, tarantulas, tortoises, and chickens. Our crickets are known for their long life span and quiet chirping (a must for quality feeder insects in the home).  

Online orders for live crickets can be available for same day pickup in as little as two hours at our Spring Lake Park location in the north-central part of the Twin Cities metro area.

As a working farm we are usually in the back raising our crickets or cricket wrangling to fulfill feeder cricket orders. Our front retail area is typically only open 5 minutes before a scheduled pick up appointment that is made when an order is placed.

To provide you with the healthiest banded crickets possible we strive to pack cricket orders within 30 minutes of their pickup time. Along with in-store pickup, we offer regional shipping and limited Twin Cities area delivery.
