While I am happy with the process and delivery I was a bit disappointed with the size of the locusts that I ordered, I ordered large and you sent me medium, they are a bit too small for my beardie, he likes big ones

The live food arrived in good packaging with clear instructions on how to handle them before first use. I was impressed with the amount of food included in the packages also as my local stores do not sell that many live in their boxes of food and the prices were good too. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be using them again.

I’ve tried a lot of different suppliers over the years, but Reptiles By Post has officially set the gold standard.
I recently ordered a batch of live crickets, and I was honestly blown away. Usually, when you order live food online, you expect a few "casualties" during transit—it’s almost a given. But not with these guys.
Why They’re the Best:
Insane Vitality: Every single cricket arrived thriving with life. They were energetic, healthy, and clearly well-nourished before being shipped.
Top-Tier Packaging: You can tell they actually care about the welfare of the insects. The packaging was secure and designed to keep them active and safe throughout the journey.
Fast Delivery: They didn't linger in the mail. They arrived quickly, ensuring maximum freshness for my pets.
My reptiles noticed the difference immediately. There’s nothing better than seeing your animals engage with prey that is actually "feisty" and full of movement!
If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality source for live food, look no further. Reptiles By Post is the real deal. I won't be going anywhere else!
Bottom line: 10/10 service and quality. Highly recommended!

I perfect batch of live food. My dragon got greedy and tried to eat both tubs. He's quite a picky dude so for him to want more shows they are good food.

I have ordered from them twice now and all feeders have arrived well and appear healthy

Bugs were great but postage more expensive than other places unfortunately. Some items I ordered weren’t as shown on the website either. Annoyingly I have to pay £5 to return it, even tho they weren’t the same as on photos! It’s for this reason it has a lower mark it also took over a week to respond to my return request. I had to message for a response in the end

I’m always changing me order as it depends on what my bearded dragon is fancying day to day on what I get through the most and never had any problems only wish it was a little easier to edit my order that can be a little long winded be nice if the supplier had there own app

I was a bit disappointed with the mealworms. There were plenty there but they looked very thin and devoured a lot of food quickly. I ordered mini mealworms for baby wrens but these were larger than the ones I used to buy from live foods 4 u. They are great for someone feeding reptiles but not for tiny birds, quick delivery if you want large worms.

Good products, great choice. Easy site to use, fast delivery. Great service all round.

Have ordered large orders quite a lot of times now and each time my orders have had substantial amount of dead bugs in with the live and clearly they are older batches because they are not lasting long either I think out of all the orders I have placed I’ve only had one good batch that have lasted well. My previous order to this one that arrived yesterday was for 500 bulk crickets there was a huge amount dead on arrival and they were dying so quickly and the smell was horrible I know crickets smell but not like these did . Will have to take my business elsewhere if this can’t be rectified as it’s a lot of money going to waste each time, the boxes I have had to buy in between from local pet shop have outlasted these ones I have purchased from yourselves
