Ordering & shipping

When do live insects and frozen orders ship?

Live insects and frozen orders ship Monday–Wednesday for orders placed before noon, so packages never sit in a carrier facility over the weekend. Non-perishables ship Monday–Thursday.

Is live arrival guaranteed?

Yes — when temperatures at both origin and destination are between 34°F and 90°F, the package is accepted on the first delivery attempt (signature required), and photos of any DOA insects are sent within 4 hours of first delivery. We’ll issue a replacement or store credit.

Do you ship when it’s hot?

We do not offer a live arrival guarantee when temperatures are over 90°F. Review the shipping terms at checkout to ensure a smooth experience.

Some of my insects look dead. What do I do?

Many are just stunned from transit. Place slow or motionless insects in a warm (75–85°F), ventilated container for 20–30 minutes. Only count the ones that are still unresponsive afterwards, then photograph them with your label or order number.

Can I return live feeders?

Feeders can’t be returned for a refund. If there’s an issue with live product, email us with photos and your order number so we can resolve it.

Our feeders

Are your feeders vet tested?

Yes. All of our product is veterinarian tested and approved, with routine testing of both our animals and facility for a parasite- and pathogen-free meal.

What do you feed your rodents?

A scientifically formulated laboratory-grade feed — what our rodents eat ends up as nutrition for your animals. Frozen feeders are flash-frozen to lock it in.

Why dubia roaches instead of crickets?

Dubia have more digestible protein and less chitin, arrive gut-loaded, don’t smell, and can’t climb smooth surfaces, jump or fly.
