WINTER WEATHER SHIPPING


Crickets:

Crickets can endure heat but are sensitive to colder temperatures. We do not recommend receiving crickets if your high temperature for the day is 20 degrees or below. During the winter we must include heat packs with our crickets.

 

 

View map below to see recommended cold weather packing for your area.

 

 

 

 

We constantly watch the weather to ensure that we use the most effective method of shipping so that your feeder insects and crickets arrive live.


Please consider your weather and the feeder insect you are ordering when selecting heat or winter packing. We guarantee live delivery only if someone is there to receive the insects upon arrival.

 

Winter shipments of crickets that appear lifeless are usually in a state of hibernation. During cold weather, allow your crickets to warm up to room temperature for two or three hours before passing judgement on their condition. Remember you have a 24 hour window to call us with any problems regarding your delivery.

 

 

 

 

Worms:

Most worms can endure the cold but are sensitive to warmer temperatures. Shipping of live worms usually does not require additional packing during the winter months unless noted.
