    What to expect during warm weather shipments

    If the dubia roaches come in all alive and active, then their journey was successful.  Sometimes there will be death and that can be normal.  If the death rate is high, then there is a good chance more of them will die over the next couple of days.  With a high death rate on delivery, something had to happen to the package during shipping.  Either extreme heat or extreme cold.   In both cases, neurological damage can occur making them walking zombies that will eventually die. Dubia roaches once at normal temperatures should move quickly.  If you have a sluggish dubia roaches, it will most likely die.   

    What to expect during cold weather shipments

    Open the box and take the bags/cups out of the box.  Leave the dubia/hissers roaches in their container until room temperature is reached..  Then remove dubia/hissers from container and place in their new home.

    Getting Hissers/Dubia/Mealworms, out of the bag

    After removing the egg flats pieces from the bag, turn the bag inside out and brush off. 

    Why are there ice-packs in the box sometimes? 

    If the temperate is too hot in our area, we will add ice-packs at no extra charge to you to get them though the few hours that will be hot.  This is automatic and customer does not need to request this.
