How do you count new reptiworms in a shipment?

I just received a shipment of reptiworms and there are a bunch of dead ones. For refund purposes I need to figure out how many are alive and how many dead.

So, I am looking for some suggestions on how some of you with worm experience do this and get your live/dead count?

Thanks !

I don't.

Especially if im ordering in bulk, like I usually would.

Unless the death rate is huge, I wouldn't do anything about it.

Agreed I wouldn't either, but death rate was huge.

I ended up sifting through a batch and had 75 living out of 500 in the container.

Luckily the replacements will be ready next week.

Well that definitely is a huge loss. Glad you could get replacements.

I am glad you are saying that most shipments are squirmy enough that you don't bother counting. This gives me hope.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
