I buy them off Ebay. Ijust got a thousand of them yesterday. Eve would probably know the best place to buy them, since she buys a lot of them.

I generally buy crickets locally from a bait shop to avoid shipping costs; but I have shipped in the past when I had more lizards and needed a thousand or more crickets at a time. I recently started using herpfood.com for ordering superworms and waxworms, and I've been quite satisfied. Their costs are reasonable and shipping has always been timely with a very low mortality.

How should I Gutload the crickets? What should I use to feed them?

I use vegetables to gutload mine--anything that's suitable in the fridge, like green beans, brussels sprouts, etc. I try to feed the crickets a little while before I feed the lizards so they'll still have the food in their digestive tracts when the lizards eat them.
