Are my Repti Worms dead?

[WoolyMarmot]

I read that the best place to store these is a wine cooler but thats something I don't have. What I did was I set my fridge to the lowest settings( there was a dial that ranges from 1-10) then placed them in the butter compartment. I took out a few batch yesterday and thawed them throughout the whole day. I Checked at around 6:00 and only half of them were moving. 1 was about to turn into a fly :shock:?( It turned black/brown and it was harder than the others)

What am I doing wrong?

repti worms will die in cold temps. Best way to store them is just at room temp. The hotter they are the more active they will be and faster they will turn into flys. even a wine cooler is to cold probably, Not sure how cold wine coolers are.

Just leave them at room temperature for a few days and see if they ground starts moving...

Mine where left out in the snow after a bad shipping experience and I thought they had all bit the dust...

The next day they were all alive and moving around again
