One day, I went to the store, got a few crickets, gave them to Skitz and Toe and 10 minutes later, I noticed some regurgitated crickets .. and both beardies looking like they were not feeling well. Scared me to death!! Thankfully, they did not get sick from them. Probablly, due to them throwing them back up. In the past, I had a snake die from a bad rat, so I'm very picky on the live prey I feed my babies. If they smell slightly bad.. they are bad. Learned that with the last batch of crickets.

The other thing a hate about petsmart's cricket ways is that after they've counted the exact 12, you get into the car and realize that one is dead/dying. Why are they so darn anal about the crickets. It's not like they take an inventory of them at the end of the day.

payledragon":0a946 said:Yes, I really dislike when I see 1-3 dead crickets when I get to the truck [5 minutes after buying them] and how dare I bring them back in and ask for replacements. :shock: The other week, my landlord bought the kids some worms . mealworms. I open the container and noticed a RANK smell. PHEW, it threw me back. I began to dig around and MOST of the worms were black and long dead. When I asked my landlord if she looked at the worms, she said "you know I don't like those things." I thanked her for the container and told her the store sold her a tub of dead worms. It was GROSS! I must SMELL, TOUCH and SEE everything I'm buying for my kids.
any news on the silkworm shortage? All the stores around here are telling me there is a shortage. Well, this shortage has been going on for 2 years now... is this true? I find it hard to believe.
