I just got my 1,000 crix in today. There was a cricket crawling outside the box??!!! Also, there 5-8 crix smashed in between the box lids?? I dumped them out and at LEAST 100 fell out dead, with a sort of old/moldy potato. Anyone experience problems with Premium Crix?
Hi Jaycee...I agree that Premium crix should see about your problem. Watch that more of them don't die off in the next day or two, then you could report that as well. Sometimes they just get too hot during transport....was it a 2 day delivery or one day ? What state are they in and are you in ? If temps. were over 80 then it would get super hot on the delivery truck. If you continue to have problems you might try Armstrong, they ship next day + your bugs should arrive in good condition and you can request a cool pack.
It's best not to feed dead crickets....it's one thing if they are just dying or to kill them and use them right away but you don't know if these were dead for many hours.
That's probably the problem then....by the time they arrive they have been on a hot truck for a couple of hours. What time do you usually get them ? Thankfully most were alive, it could have been more dead than that even.
