I was sweating the 3 days of shipping across country. They arrived in good shape although there was a smell in the box, but I couldn't find any dead ones in the container.
I have a PO box and picked them up this morning as soon as they opened. Meaning the truck comes from Vegas, 75 miles away, so when tracking said they had arrived at my post office I went and asked the lady to look for the box rather than wait till 1pm when all the mail has to be sorted. Stupid because the post office was actually cooler than my house.
I thought higher temperatures in the 90° range NOT 100+ makes them grow?
I am worried about the lack of compost on the larger orders.
Was the compost dumped out before you took the photos?
How are the large orders shipped? Meaning are they divided into the same size containers? Or are a larger number than 100 all in the same container?
I'm wondering if lack of compost would contribute to lack of moisture killing them in the 3 day priority mail shipping time if the 1000 are all bunched together?
This is the second post I've seen about bacteria and am nervous, but want to order more because crickets just can't stand the heat to be shipped--even overnight.
Given the different nutritional value of Phoenix worms vs crickets, does that mean you can feed less worms than crickets?

If you get the 1000 pack, it is divided into 500 per "box", so you get two "boxes". I'd still feed as much or more worms than crickets especially if you get mediums since they are usually smaller, but that's just me.
