Josh's Frogs desertcart Store Visit the Store Josh's Frogs desertcart Store Visit the Store Review: Consistently good - Very happy with quality! Review: Great product and service! - I’ve ordered from Josh’s Frogs on desertcart twice now, for black soldier fly larvae to get my compost bin going. The first time I ordered one container of 1000 large, and the second time I ordered 2 containers. The first time they arrived quickly and alive and well, and they did great getting my compost going. The second time I ordered more recently was because I thought I had accidentally killed them all in the Texas heat by not giving them supplemental water, because one day I looked in the bin and didn’t see any parent flies or larvae when digging around. Once I ordered more, and got advice that let me know my mistake, I then did see more parent flies, so they were not *all* dead, luckily. They can tolerate pretty dang high heat, but they do need moisture and I had let my compost dry out too much. I won’t make that mistake again! The second batch was delayed in shipping, which is not JF’s fault at all, and despite the stickers on the box saying to store upright, were left in my mailbox parcel container on their side - but they were still alive, I couldn’t find a single larvae that was dead. And they were all a great size, many were even the dark color that indicates they’re almost ready to pupate, and about an inch long, which is the biggest they get. I’m very happy with the service as well- they replied to my question about how long they can survive in transit very quickly, and assured me if they didn’t arrive in good condition that I’d get a refund or replacement. Couldn’t be happier! And I highly recommend these fellas for composting - they will eat anything and everything (unlike sensitive and picky earthworms), and will turn your food scraps into amazing compost in a few short months. They are sustainable and good for the environment, and a GREAT food for chickens if you have them - and they will also compost chicken poo, making it into amazing fertilizer. An absolute must-have for any home gardener, no matter the size of your garden. ## Features - Healthy feeder insect for reptiles, amphibians, fish, and wild birds!

We are off gris and looking to use them in our compost set up and to control regular flies** A: I would imagine you could as long as the environment is right. My bearded dragon ate all of his larvae from Josh's Frogs before they could turn into flies able to breed but given enough time and right environment they probably would have. You could probably call them and ask. **Q: Can I choose to have these held at the post office?** A: You would need to use the post office shipping address, we do not ship live items via USPS though. **Q: Hi, I see that my order shipped out today but isn't due to arrive until 4 days from now? I'm in Florida and the heat is brutal, will they survive?** A: They are pretty hardy, they should be ok. Just get them in some cool coffe grounds when they arrive. **Q: What were they fed, by the seller? What they eat changes their nutritional value. So, what have they been eating?** A: They're naturally high in calcium and I can't say what the seller uses but I added normal gutloading veggies like carrots, kale, butternut squash, etc. in with them to munch on before I fed them to my chameleon. These lasted me quite a long time and she loved them even more when they started turning into flies. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Consistently good *by A***S on April 22, 2026* Very happy with quality! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product and service! *by J***N on September 26, 2023* I’ve ordered from Josh’s Frogs on Amazon twice now, for black soldier fly larvae to get my compost bin going.

What more do you want? *by H***H on October 30, 2025* We order some BSFL for our Bearded Dragon about once a month or so to supplement his primary cricket diet. He's just growing out of his "baby" stage and still on a protein heavy diet. The BSFL are a great, natural source of calcium which many feeder insects lack. We ordered 250 from Josh's Frogs and our Beardie gobbled them down in a matter of days, he absolutely loved them. All larvae arrived alive and on time. I can't comment on the size of them as I don't have enough experience with BSFL to confidently say the sizes of the larvae are true and accurate but there was at least 250 of them in the container. Yet another perfect delivery from Josh's Frogs. ## Frequently Bought Together - Josh's Frogs Black Soldier Fly Larvae (1000 Count - Large) - Josh's Frogs Hornworms Habitat Cup (25 Count Cup) - Josh's Frogs 3/4" Banded Crickets (250 Count) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/25206976-joshs-frogs-black-soldier-fly-larvae-1000-count-large](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/25206976-joshs-frogs-black-soldier-fly-larvae-1000-count-large) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
