You should be able to find a lot of crickets and mealworms...etc. I've never been to a reptile show that didn't sell feeder insects.

I really didn't take notice to any FF at shows because I don't buy them myself....but i'm like 99.9% sure you can find them there.

I didn't see anyone selling FF at the one I went to, but then again, I didn't ask...just didn't see them around. I should've asked because I'm out of them. Let me know if you get some, so next time I know to ask.
Take care and have fun!!!!

You might want to get them early, the show I go to (columbus OH) usualy sells out of crickets, and if you don't get them early, they might not have the right size. Also at columbus I noticed several vendors selling fruit flies. Good luck!

I don't regularly make crickets or FF a daily meal...sometimes when I'm feeling a bit, well, reptile-like...

Seriously, I think they're escaping or something...I just went to the darn store to get 1/4" the other day...and I'm already out of those too. I did catch my daughter shaking the critter keeper on the floor today, but I think that was the first time it happened. Another time, I dropped the whole darn thing, and I'm STILL finding 1/4" crix dead around my house. Other than those two incidents though...nothing...and I have no idea where they are going.

Oh, and you silly girls...I didn't know you were down here making fun of me...LOL!!!
