About Linda's Gone Buggie

30+ Years of Reptile Keeping & Bug Breeding

Hi, I'm Linda — the person behind every order at Linda's Gone Buggie. I've been keeping reptiles and breeding feeder insects for over 30 years. What started our business as a family business with our 2 son's working along our side we all had  a passion for reptile care and feeding them that grew into a full operation dedicated to raising healthy, high-quality live feeders that your animals will love. We started first off doing reptile shows for those 30 plus years bringing our bugs to reptile shows and the reptile community all over the indiana and Illinos area to grow our website business

I know first hand how important a reliable feeder supply is. When your bearded dragon or leopard gecko is counting on a nutritious, lively meal, you need a source you can trust. That's exactly why I started Linda's Gone Buggie — to give fellow reptile keepers access to feeders raised with the same care I give my own animals.

How We Raise Our Feeders

Every insect we sell — from Discoid Roaches, Meal Worms, Super Worms, Blacksoldier fly Larva and Wax Worms — is bred and raised right here on our own Bug Farm, we do not raise or own Crickets, Horn  Worms or Silk Worms those we order from the same trusted bug vendor we have done this for the last 30 years (As they use the same mind set as we do to maintain clean, controlled environments and feed ours and there insects a nutritious diet so they arrive at your door healthy and ready to feed.)

How We Pack & Ship

Live insects are sensitive to heat, cold, and time in transit. We pack every order carefully to maximize survival during shipping, using appropriate insulation and packaging for the season and your region. Orders ship via UPS to ensure reliable, trackable delivery.

Important:**** Live feeders can not tolerate any extended exposure to outside elements. Please make sure someone is available to receive your package on the delivery day AND PLEASE WATCH YOUR TRACKING SEVERAL TIMES A DAY:) as If UPS alerts us that a delivery attempt was missed and left outside, our live arrival guarantee will be evaluated at our discretion in accordance with our DOA rules (items 1–6). We want every order to arrive alive — and your cooperation on delivery day makes that possible. if you are not there to recieve ups alerts us & that changes our live arrival guarantee

Our Live Arrival Commitment

We stand behind every shipment we send. Our live arrival guarantee is our promise that we've done everything on our end to get your feeders to you safely. To keep that promise intact, please be present to receive your order — live insects simply can't wait outside.

If you have any questions before or after your order, don't hesitate to reach out. We're reptile people too, and we're always happy to help.
