🚨Attention cricket and bug customers!!🚨
We apologize are we are currently out of most bugs. The weather is not doing us any favors right now. We have a very small window to get bugs in this week for delivery THURSDAY! Unfortunately, we were unable to make anything earlier work with the below zero temps tonight and tomorrow night. We are opening up special orders for bulk crickets today only! All orders must be received by 7pm tonight. You can place and order for 500 or 1000 crickets in any size. These must be prepaid for and picked up on Thursday by 6pm. Looking to next week, all overnight temps are below zero currently, meaning we will have a slim chance getting any shipments. There is a possibility for a cricket only order but at this time we are recommending customers stock up on bugs for the next two weeks. We will have large order of all other bugs delivered with the crickets on Thursday (with the exception of dubia roaches). They typically arrive by 2pm. Also, please don't yell at my staff for being out of bugs. We only have space to keep so many on hand. We cannot control the weather, the shipping companies, or many of the other factors that are out of our control. Trust me when we say we want to sell you bugs and keep your pets fed and happy!! So a kind smile goes a long way instead of choice words. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

As 2024 comes to a close, it’s hard to believe we’re wrapping up 50 amazing years in business and getting ready to start year 51! We’re ending the year on such a high note, especially after losing our precious Torq earlier this year. The kindness we’ve received has been overwhelming. Just in the last few days, we’ve been touched in ways words can't describe. On Saturday, one of our sweet customers gifted us a beautiful slate plaque in honor of Torq. Then yesterday, our incredibly talented employee Maren gave us a hand-painted portrait of our one-of-a-kind boy. These gifts have moved us more than we can express and brought tears to our eyes. We only hope all dogs feel the love Torq did. The store isn’t quite the same without him, but we find comfort in knowing how deeply he was loved by so many. Happy New Year, everyone! Stay safe tonight. We are open until 3pm today and 10am-5pm tomorrow.🐾💖 #2024

Can you believe Christmas is next week!?🎄 We extended our ours a bit this weekend to help out any last minute shoppers 😂 Just keep in mind that pets do not make great last minute gifts for Christmas. They deserve to be thought about and planned for, not impulsively purchased.
