I have ordered 7 frogs from LLL over the past 6 months. 2 Baby Reds and 5 Mantella Ebenaui. All arrived health and are still healthy. When you order frogs online you MUST check your local weather forecast and the weather forecast in San Diego (were LLL is located) and make sure the temps are within a safe range for shipping. If it isn't you should either wait on ordering or order and request they hold it until more favorable weather arrives.

Some online sellers will check the weather for you and won't ship when temps are outside of predefined ranges and will call and let you know.

Before I would blame a reputable company like LLL for the loss of the 3 reds mentioned previously I would want to know what time of the year the frogs were ordered, what the temps were during the shipping, what the care conditions of the frogs were, what they were being fed, what supplements were being used, how long were the frogs quarantined, how healthy the frogs looked upon arrival, and if LLL was notified and given the chance to address this issue.

I personally would not come into someone praise post for a company and post a negative review. If you have a bad experience and wish to share it start a new thread and share your story.

Thanks,

Paul

No, no Thats not what i mean! But in general if i were to order an animal i would not be able to see the animal myself before buying, thats the only reason why i wouldn't buy online from anyone, my opinion on shipping live animals has nothing to do with the company at all and i am not discrediting anyone. Im sorry that my post was understood in that matter.

Sorry Ryan, my response was not directed at you. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I completely understand people who choose to not order animals online. It is risky for sure and can be a very bad experience for the person ordering.

Again, Ryan I am sorry for the misunderstanding That part of my comment was aimed at Willy

The weather conditions were fine. This was a few weeks ago in Baltimore so in the 75-90 range. They were quarantined for 11 days. The first two died at day 6. No. 3 died at day 11. They were fed pinheads with no supplements. LLL was contacted. They said the warranty was for live arrival only and offered to go over care requirements.

I'm not really blaming LLL. Their warranty was clear and I accepted that. No. 4 is doing okay. I was hoping for better luck, but it just didn't work out.
