Worried......

Fed Ex should be able to put the package in a climate controlled room, especially if you paid for overnight shipping. I would be on the phone with someone at the location until I had it guaranteed they were in an office or something. Especially being live animals, someone there will be willing to help.

Yes, they have it in a climate controlled office. But, I am concerned, because they will be in the box for almost 6 days. These are babies.

I get the concern, and it sucks that its supposed to be overnight shipping that takes nearly a week, but they have a low enough metabolism that they have a good chance of being ok, their biggest issue would be the cold. I hope they arrive in good health and just a bit hungry.

My babies have finally left Memphis (5 day transit), and are here at my local hub. They will be delivered in a few hours. If by some miracle that they are alive, what do I need to do first. I am thinking transferring them to a warm bath first, and then trying to feed. What do you think?

Honestly, I don't know much about pac-man frogs, but I would set-up their habitat, put them in there so they don't get anymore unnecessary stress, give them water dishes, and feed them overnight and possibly try to do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow so they don't get more stress.(I don't know much about pac-man frogs, so please correct me if I'm wrong)

I wouldn't recommend that, if they have been cold at all, it could give them temperature shock. You might try room temp pedialite diluted with water in a 10% solution. I would make sure their setups are spot on other than temp and bring them up to optimal temp over a few days. Get them food right away too, probably calcium dusted but vitamin dusted could be good too, just not both at the same time.

Thank you for correcting me I had considered purchasing one, but do what he says!

Thanks!! I have the pedialyte mixture ready. Just waiting......

[Cliygh and Mia 2]

Tell us when you get them!

They are alive!!! One was not moving much, but I put both in the Pedialyte solution.
After about 15 mins, they each ate a piece of a nightcrawler.
HAPPY DANCE!!!!
