Sent out my breeding colony, but because of the weight, went north 1st instead of south, adding to shipping time, missing Sat delivery. Should amount to 4 days total in transit, and the weather isn't too hot yet (why i sent when i did). Buyer thinks they have a slim chance of survival but we won't know til Mon, and I'm worried for them.
Sure, some were snacking on carrots and oranges before they left, but not everybody. I've sent off little ones with a delayed delivery and they were ok, but these are adults and large nymphs. So, anybody know or care to hazard a guess?
If these were people, 3 days without water and they'd be dead.

I've had roaches come in 4 days and they were all alive.
I really hope that's the case here. That was my whole breeding colony. Not large, but young and prolific; it would be such a shame to lose them all to dehydration.

I have had dubia survive 2 weeks without water. I put a few mid sized in a container just to separate them to feed them off, my girlfriend placed them in a closet and i forgot all about them came back about 2 weeks later and they were all still alive. However they will not shed or grow not to mention adults will not breed and already pregnant females will most likely abort their eggs.
