Hey guys! I just wanted to put something out there because of some recent issues. When you order, please give me 3-4 days to process your order and get it to you. Right now my health isn’t good, I am a tremendous amount of pain daily, and my autoimmune issues are in a flare since I lost my dad 2 months ago (likely due to stress). I appreciate your understanding during this time as I work through these issues and try to get better AND get your orders to you. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I have PLENTY of Dubia available if anyone would like to place an order. If you would, please get your order in before Monday of this coming week, as I am going to open my Etsy shop back up in order to reduce some of my numbers. I’d like my local customers to get first dibs on their pick of bugs before opening up to country-wide. Thanks everyone!

Hey guys. I hope you all are doing well. As some of you know, I haven’t been shipping or doing orders as I lost my dad suddenly on the 7th from an asthma attack that left him brain dead. I will resume normal operations tomorrow for those who would like to get their orders out first thing Monday morning. If you’d like to donate to my dads funeral fund, you may do so at the link below. He didn’t have life insurance and I am really struggling trying to come up with the funds. Thank you all and God bless.

Hey everyone! I hope you all are well. I wanted to let you guys know that I am going to try out a new type of container to ship and sell the roaches in. I want to use less plastic, so I have purchased some paper deli soup cups with lids that are disposable and compostable. Let me know if you guys have any questions or problems with them as I make the switch! Thanks again everyone!

Today is a sad day. A customer that quickly became a great friend of mine, is having to say goodbye to her baby boy, Toothless. Please keep her and her husband in your thoughts a prayers. Losing an animal is losing a family member. We love you Barb!
