    Default Ordering Live Feeders By Mail in the Winter

    Hi,

    I'm in Massachusetts where it gets to be below freezing in the wintertime. I can't order live feeders in the mail in the winter correct?

    Thanks

    I'm also in MA and have ordered feeders by mail. If you can get them (I'm going to assume you're talking about crickets) delivered to an address where they can be taken in right away they'll be OK. Places that do next day mail would be best. The place I used to use unfortunately went out of business. I would have my downstairs neighbor check for them and put them in my house. I don't know where in MA you are, but I'm in the Boston area and I now get my feeders from Jabberwock Reptiles in Winchester MA. I put my order in on Fridays and they arrive the following Tues. or Wed. I have to pick them up, but they are all alive and the price is good (I'm getting 1000-2000 crickets at a time). If you're not in the Boston area, you should check with local reptile stores that aren't chain stores to see if ordering through them is possible.

    Actually I wasn't thinking that I would order crickets I was actually thinking about getting waxworms. My local store The Fish Nook doesn't have waxworms. But, I was thinking of ordering off of Josh's Frogs.

    You could see if The Fish Nook could get them in for you from whoever supplies their other buggy feeders. What are you feeding waxworms to?

    I don't know anything about Pac Man frogs, but leopard geckos should not have too many waxworms. They are fairly fatty and addictive.

    Usually there are heat packs available, but you dont want them to sit on a porch or anything. Try discountdubias.com
