D.O.A. Reptiworms

[littlesavedgirl]

I received my order of Reptiworms yesterday and the vast majority were dead. I had let them air out but most of them did not recover. They did not sit long in the mail box, I got them quickly but they were still in this bad shape. I emailed Reptiworms but havn't heard from them. I purposely only ordered 250 because of the heat, wanting to avoid such a great loss. Anyone have advice for my communicating my problem to them at Reptiworm.com?

hmm, all you can really do is wait, or possibly try PMing them on here?

i do know when i ordered Phoenix worms and had a problem my email was answered within a couple hours and they gave me an extra free cup for my next order.

Resurrection! Right after I wrote this, I went to open the container just to see if I could scrape a couple for Penny and they were all at the bottom as usual :shock: , I did see a couple still dead but for the most part their alive! I sent them a message saying nevermind but maybe I should PM them here...how do I do that? :study:

I just got my order an hour ago, still none moving, and they are almost all too big for my Mojo, I ordered smalls and they are bigger than the smalls I had gotten when I ordered reptiworms from lindasgonebuggie. . . Also when I tried to login to my account I got a warning page that their certificate had been revoked and they were an unsafe site? I wrote to them giving full details and asking if I can feed dead ones or not. I am broke til the first and this was all the food Mojo would have She is like 9 1/4 inches long now. She needs her feeders

My Reptiworms took 24 hours to recover from this heat. I'd let them air out , disturbing the bedding with a spoon or toothpick or something for about an hour then put there lid back on and wait. Mine all , almost , came back to life. Oh I also sat their container on a cold pack when they came just to speed up their cooling. They are all fine today to my surprise , maybe yours will come back too

none of the repti-worms are too big for a dragon that size. its fine, she will just eat like 5-10 less which will save you money in the long run

Oh thanks! Some are longer than the space between her eyes, I was told if they were longer than that they were too big. Is it because they are soft bodied?

 

[littlesavedgirl]

That is a very big part of it yes, they just fold up and squish :wink:

yeah, its one of the few cases where they can eat something a bit bigger then the space between their eyes. hornworms and silkworms are 2 others that come to mind.

Oh good cause I was worried when I opened the cup and saw they were so big. Most are twice the size I was expecting. I hope they recover because I really don't want to pawn my laptop just to get some crickets.

 

[littlesavedgirl]

I was very surprised to see they were alive since they looked convincingly dead. . But they did, say a prayer for you .

 

[Carnivorouszoo]

Still dead. Put a bunch in her dish with a couple of the dubia I have left and those convinced her to eat some. Will end up having to get some crickets otherwise I will end up feeding all my dubia and not having any to raise out. Gar I hate crickets too!
