Exo Terra Cricket Pen

Directions for use:

Use as cricket carrier or holding pen. Simply slide the tube out of the Exo Terra Cricket Pen and drop the flapper down to prevent escapes. If needed, cover the tube opening with one hand while transporting it to the terrarium or feeder. Remove your hand and lightly tap on the tube to release the appropriate number of crickets for feeding. Only one tube should be removed at a time to avoid crickets escaping.

Cricket Care:

Crickets should be kept in a well-ventilated room at a temperature range between 21-23 °C (70-75 °F) with low humidity. Keep the cricket pen out of direct sunlight and cold drafts. Always keep the cricket pen clean and dry. High quality cricket food and water (gel) should be provided at all times, both of which should be offered in the shallow food and water dishes provided. If water gel is not available, a moist sponge may be used. Do not use water only as the crickets may drown.

Cleaning Instructions:

It is necessary to clean the unit regularly. Remove all debris and waste and clean the entire unit with hot tap water. Never use soap or detergent as it may leave a residue that can be harmful or even deadly to the crickets.

Changes to our shipping policy due to the Canada Post Strike

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has launched a national strike following the government announcement on Canada Post’s transformation. 

Canada Post’s operations will shut down during a national strike, affecting millions of Canadians and businesses across the country.

What you can expect

Mail and parcels will not be processed or delivered for the duration of the national strike, and some post offices will be closed. Service guarantees are suspended for items already in the postal network. We have notified customers that their scheduled pickups have been cancelled. No new items will be accepted until the national disruption is over.

All mail and parcels in the postal network will be secured and delivered as quickly as possible once operations resume. However, a national strike of any length will impact service to Canadians well after the strike activity ends. Processing and delivery may take some time to fully return to normal.

We will only be shipping through Canpar or Purolator.  "Free Shipping" will be sent through Canpar Ground service or Purolator Ground service. Canpar Ground & Purolator Ground services do not have guaranteed delivery times, and the shipping times will only be estimates. If you are shipping the order to your business or workplace, please include the business name in the shipping address.  Unfortunately, Canpar will not deliver to rural locations.  For a complete list of these postal codes, click HERE

Our website will still offer Canada Post shipping as an option.  However, if you choose this method of shipping, it will not leave our warehouse until after the Canada Post strike is resolved.

If you are shipping the order to your business or workplace, please include the business name in the shipping address.  Unfortunately, Canpar will not deliver to rural locations.  For a complete list of these postal codes, click HERE

Orders may be subject to cancellation or require additional confirmations for the following instances due to the risk of fraud:

• The Billing and Shipping addresses are different, and the shipping address is not a Business.
• Orders with international billing addresses

Orders that include "special order" items will not be shipped until the "special order" item arrives in our warehouse.

Please provide a street address if you choose "Free Shipping", Canpar or Purolator as your shipping method. 

• If you have a PO Box, Rural Range Road, Township Road or Site land location address, you must choose Canada Post as your shipping method.
• If your address is an apartment or condo, please include the buzzer number.
• If you are shipping to your business or work, please indicate the company name.

Initial orders will require a signature upon delivery.  If you are placing your first order and want the shipment left at your front door with "no signature required", you can enter the request in "Special instructions for seller" on your cart page.  If you have already processed your order, you can email the request before noon of that business day through our "Contact Us" page.  If you place your order on the weekend, you must email the request by noon on Monday. If you have made the request, your subsequent orders will include the request for "no signature required". 

If you do not make the request and are not home to sign for the package, Canada Post, Canpar & Purolator will take the shipment to one of their locations where you can pick up your package. 

*Please note that neither Petland nor the delivery service is liable for any lost or stolen packages if you have requested the shipment to be left at your front door.

Risk of Loss and Shipping and Delivery:

All items purchased from Petland.ca are made pursuant to a shipment contract with a shipping carrier. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon delivery of the Products to the carrier. Products will be shipped to the address designated by you, if applicable, so long as such address is complete and complies with any shipping restrictions contained on the site. The time and location of delivery of the products to you is at the discretion of the carrier. 

Undeliverable packages:

Occasionally, we will have a package returned to us because it was undeliverable. When this occurs, we will issue a full refund for the price of the product plus taxes. Shipping charges are non-refundable.  If your order had "Free Shipping" the shipping charges incurred by Petland for your order will be deducted from the total product refund amount.

We can receive packages as undeliverable for the following reasons:

• Missing house number, unit number or buzzer number
• Missing street name, City, or province
• Incorrect Postal Code
• Failed delivery attempts or the item was not picked up from the local depot within 5-10 business days.
• Refused by the recipient.
