 Rec’vd a can of dead crix in mail!

Well my shipment of crickets arrived after 5days (on Friday) and the can was dented in, taped shut with duct tape and masking tape. Half dead crix were stuck to the tape and a couple live ones on the outside of the can! Luckily I was home when it came, I’m sure the mailman wasn’t pleased either! Was a stamp on it, "recvd damaged at station".

There were about 20 alive (1/8"-ers) the rest of the can was dead crix!!

I emailed the company and they were super and sent out another which I got today, all alive!!

At least my first experience turned out fine in the end, I was sick of those bi-weekly trips to the store!

Did you get them from Fluker Farms? I have had horrible luck with them.

It was premiumcrickets though I can say it was not their fault, it was the mail service. 2nd can came right away and no prob except their ended up being a full size female in there and I didn’t know it and I found out the next day and I think she killed some of them??

I just put the opened can into my keeper, along with paper tubes, egg carton and food.
