superworm rip-off

[KahliLizard]

I bought 2 tubs of superworm, 50 count, and went home and fed my lizards from one for some time, until I couldn't find any more. I went onto the other tub. I searched, and searched, and all I could find was 6 worms. 6/50. should I contact the store, I don't want to cause trouble, and they might not do anything since it is possible that I could have fed them to my lizards already. but, it still makes me mad. should I just suck it up and deal with it? or should I talk to the store?

That really sucks, I might mention something next time at the least (or complain now since the worst is they won't do anything) and definatly check the tubs at the store. I've never gotten good superworms or waxworms at petsmart or my local pet shop, they are usually just dead. :/

I order my superworms from ebay now, the quality is better and the petstore doesn't get my money. They keep really well and easy if you take care of them.

I hate causing trouble too, but I'd probably go back and get a refund, or at least ask to exchange it for a new cup of worms.

For future reference, always check your cup to inspect the worms at the store. Also, check out an online source, such as rainbowmealworms.com, where you can get the insects guaranteed live. They are likely cheaper through them anyway, and superworms have a pretty long shelf life without changing so long as they are kept in close quarters with fellow worms.

Good luck!
