Packed in bran, ensure the crickets are kept at a regular temperature of approximately 60-65F (15-18C) and away from bright light. To encourage the maximum shelf-life, empty into a smooth-sided container with a vented lid. Add a slice of potato to provide moisture. Proper supplementation should be given prior to feeding to your reptile. Don't forget live food can be affected by cold weather.\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring the cold weather we make every effort to ensure that your livefood arrives as warm and active as possible. We add heat packs to all of our livefood orders when the weather is particularly cold. However, despite our best efforts, your livefood still may arrive looking lifeless. Many of our common livefood species enter a dormant state when exposed to colder weather. As they are cold-blooded, they cannot regulate their body temperature effectively, so will slow down their body process waiting for warmer conditions – Mealworms, Morioworms, Calci worms and Crickets all do this, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTOP TIPS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn order to bring the livefood around, it is important you follow a few simple steps:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnpack the outer boxes and lay out all packs\/ tubs so that fresh air can circulate around them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLeave the packs\/tubs at room temperature (18⁰C-25⁰C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDo not offer external heat as warming up livefood quickly will kill them.
