Worm man? And size for Phoenix?

[sixxmum]

My lizards are about 10 inches long. We are having trouble getting 1 of them to eat enough crickets. I have a delivery of smaller crickets coming tomorrow, to see if that will help, but I want to get some PW too. I've never used them before, though, so don't know what size. Help? And, is Worm Man an ok place to order from? If not, can you rec one that sells smaller quantities?

Worm man is not a good place- If you type in worm man you will see a lot of people did not get what they ordered or money back and I am one of them- after many calls and emails i finally gave up!

worm man has horrible customer service, or more like they have NO customer service. No service of any kind. I had horrible luck with them, and so have many people on this board. There are multiple threads on this board about problems with worm man.

On the size of PW, you can go with the Medium size they are really small! I know my bigger dragon won't touch them! to small for her

I got my PWs from Premium Crickets. I thought the prices were reasonable and my order was shipped the same day and I received it like 2 days later. They are in Georgia and I'm in Oklahoma. I actually just ordered some more crickets from them as my little stinker isn't eating the PW's right now.

Medium would be good, and I have heard nothing but bad things about about Worm man. http://www.phoenixworm.com/servlet/StoreFront this is the source for all phoenix worms. Shipping is included in the price and they are fresher if you order from here. I just ordered 400 from them for $27 shipping and all.

Thanks for the feedback! Can I just keep the PW in the cups they come in? How long will they last that way? I have no idea how many of them two little lizards will eat.

wow! You're close to me!

Anyways, I always got my pw's from phoenixworm.com. They were much fatter than premium and they didn't turn dark as fast. Always get the mediums, the large ones turn black faster. They are still alive, and ok to feed when dark, but they just don't move as much..

They last for quite a while, 2-3 months, I have heard. Store them in the cups, at room temperature - or in a cooler area in your home, not in the fridge - and take out what you need. Let them dry and the packing media falls off.
I fed about 25-30 at a time - with salad, but Blaze quit eating them.

Thanks for the help. I have an order on the way now. I'm quite concerned about Ponce, so I'll be glad when they arrive and I can see if she's tempted by them.
