I went to the "Pets 00" show in Tampa, FL this past March, it is a pet
dealers trade show. While I was there I went to every dealer of live foods
and found a few that would deal to the consumer directly. You may have to
spend a min. of $10/$25 or buy 500 crickets, but they will send you
information on how to keep them alive and fresh if you ask and they have
food and containers to keep them in too. Some sell flightless fruit flies
too. They all sell worms.

This next one sells to PetsMart and their product did not hold up to miss
handling by the staff. They told me that PetsMart has retrained the staff
on how to keep the stuff fresh. I'am still paying retail when I can get it
from source cheaper.
