Got 300 DEAD Reptiworms!

[JCuratola]

WTF. I saw someones post on here a couple of days ago about reptiworms and how its basically the same as a phoenix work which my beardie loves so i figured i would try it. I open the container yesterday to 300 dead worms. I better get a refund or more worms.

My only order from reptiworms came dead

 

[JCuratola]

Refusing to ever purchase from them ever again.

All of my pheonix worms came alive

I on the other hand had an order of phoenix worms come in half of them dead, and my reptiworms came in all alive and kicking. phoenixworms replaced my bad order with my 'next paid order', so I ordered an introductory package to get the replacement cups.

What's the temp where you live? Could be the heat wave.

90s ... but my phoenix worms were fine.. Never getting reptiworms again

 

[ashleyelsha]

My reptiworms shed and turned black and half died within 4 days of getting them. my phoenix worms just now have a few turning dark 2 weeks later and much healthier. For longevity I choose phoenixworms.

I'm having troubles with reptiworms as well. My last two orders were shipped incorrectly (wrong address, had to be re-routed, requested to hold at post office but were sent on the truck...). My last two orders arrived nearly all black, most were dead. My last order was for 500, I only got ~200 fed before I couldn't find any more live ones. The living ones, WOULDN"T WIGGLE either. I had to roll them around on Moose's hammock to get him to eat them.

I've got silks, horns, butters, and some more reptiworms (they were free) coming from lindasgonebuggie- hopefully today. I'll see how he feeds on the other worms. But I think I'm either going to switch to phoenix worms (or attempt to, anyway) or try raising/breeding silks if he prefers those. Even my first few orders from reptiworms didn't move as much as I would have liked. They just don't grab his attention the way wax worms do... And the soil they're shipped in is stupid, it takes 5-10 minutes to sift out clean worms for him to eat.

I had phoenix and repti arrive on the same day and the repti arrived DOA and the phoenix alive and wiggling!

I have 100 reptiworms and 100 phoenix worms set to ship tomorrow. This will be my first time ordering from phoenix worms so I don't know what to expect. I'll open up a thread to compare them when they arrive (pictures, unboxing, feeding videos, etc). Hopefully this will get a good discussion going. I live on the east coast and shipping time/distance can certainly be a factor to my results.

Sounds interesting.
