Packaging will depend on the seller you buy from, but you will need a place to keep them for an extended time regardless. However, it's extremely simple, as these guys can't climb smooth surfaces. Most people use smooth plastic bins just fine as they're inexpensive and effective.

Convenient mean suitable or agreeable to the needs or purpose; well-suited with respect to facility or ease in use;favorable, easy, or comfortable for use,at hand;easily accessible: their house is convenient to all transportation. Conveniently meaning in a way that it is useful to you because it saves you time or dose not spoil your plans or cause you problems. But I got Dubai and didn't like how I got a lot of baby for my money that's why I said what I did in my review.

If you buy from waggity tails, they will come in a shoe box sized plastic tupperware thing with some egg crate pieces and food for a couple days and that should last you a while. I would recommend a slightly larger container that doesn't let light in but the container that Waggity Tails provides is adequate and I would highly re commend them. I received 194 and I only ordered 100! Hope this helps.

No. I think the space is too tight for the roaches to all survive for any length of time.

They come in a small Tupperware container with a small mesh screening made in the center of the lid. My roaches are thriving I mist it daily and throw some fresh fruits/veggies in with them. They grew QUICKLY, but I also feed them a lot. So I personally wasn't worried about how small the little ones were because you have the option to make them grow bigger depending on how much you feed them. However I still moved my colony to a bigger storage bin. As well as put a bigger egg carton in there for bedding. I've found they thrive better with more room, and they're already producing offspring.

I purchased my roaches from Red Earth Worms.( 100 Mixed Size Dubia Roaches ) In my opinion, ANY roach would feel special the way this firm ships them. Mine were in a special box, inside styrafoam packing, with screened ventilation holes and arrived in excellent shape. I live in southern oklahoma and the temperature here is hot as hell, and these bugs arrived very healthy and full of pep. I would say they would have lasted for at least 1 week in the container, but they ship 2 to 3 day so time is not an issue. Go ahead, buy them, you will not regret it. I am raising mine and feeding my lizards mainly superworms until I develop a nice size colony and they are just doing gr8!

Shelf Life? The product after 1year remains effective. This is the 2nd time I purchased this product. I have 2 small Chihuahuas, I split a capsule between them, I put 1/2 a capsule into a fatty meal, and they eat it. I have had no problems with fleas, etc. I think this product is a good product.

Per Halo comment: The company writes "we are not ordering new products at this time..." So is this just a packaging facility? Where does their "product" ship from, I'm hoping not China. I was just about to order MSM but will hold off until I can find out. Haven't forgotten the pet food fiasco yet.

The food that I'm using is very small and dry. It's feeding with out a problem. After the feeding two or three pieces of food might fall down. But I'm feeding berthed mallets amour that can be dispensed. So those two/three lil one after the feeding are a treat. :)

I never noticed. I simply put it in the cage (permanently) and checked it 15 min later. I assume 5 minutes should do it. Probably sooner. It's meant to sit in the terrarium indefinitely. Not really to be taken in and out. You would probably want an infrared temperature reader if you just want to check the temperature couple times a day.

Usually there are instructions included-the egg pods are shipped in May-and I have a Praying Mantis Pagoda"- a pop up screened type cage-OR you can put egg pod in small cardboard box with holes outside in a well protected spot-preferably in a thorny plant-to protect babies from the birds- If you hatch them in a pagoda type cage to see them hatch (they are sooo cute when they hatch) you can keep them for a day or two then they start eating each other-just take cage outside and open..and release! The Mantis' will climb up your hand,or arm lightning quick-so we use plant stems and tall grass blades to "load" up Mantis' and then just gently toss the plant/grass blade where you want them to go-they will disappear for several weeks so be patient-they tend to stay where you put them-keep looking..after several weeks you will start to see them at about 2-3"s long and then you can "monitor" them for the rest of the summer/early fall.They hang upside down under branches and leaves and as adults may fly away if feel threatened. I hope this helps-I have been ordering pods for 3-4 years now and I love seeing them all summer.

Feedin the amount they recommend it should last 30 days but I personally find their recommendation to be too much. I believe it says 1/4 cup a day. My hamsters bowl doesn't even hold 1/4 cup and of course hamsters store food. I purchased my first bag 2 months ago and I'm just about to run out. I haven't measured how much I give her but its probably 1/8 cup and I monitor her stashes. I tried feeding the recommended 1/4 cup and she wouldn't even stash it all. It would sit and build up. I really like this food. It's one of the healthiest I can find and it's a reasonable price.

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I rarely ever check my email. I bought this light as a replacement bulb for (a very old) outdoor fixture located above my car. It is strong enough to light up my side of the street (as well as a few other houses). As far as reptile care, I have no idea. Sorry, I was unable to answer your question. Best of luck finding your answer.

I just purchased the commecial sized package and the expiration appears to be about one year after manufacture. I'm confident it will last longer, but it does have some fat in it that will eventually go rancid, so I'm equally sure it will eventually spoil.

The package says to refrigerate but I'd never even noticed that before. Mine doesn't seem spoiled even though I left it out.

It has been awhile, but I put about 12-15 in each of 3 plastic grocery bags when I received the 5-lb box. I thought it was a good deal. The only issue I'm having is finding a way to "mount" the large cuttlebones in the cage - having gone through the smaller ones. I like the plastic holders, but they aren't made in a large enough size for the larger bones. And I haven't had any luck with the little metal wrap as shown in this picture. I am currently testing a new approach - wrapping a wire vertically and horizontally around the bone and attaching it to the ladder in the cage. So far my parakeet misses the plastic holder and hasn't tried the new setup yet. Fingers crossed!

I'm on my 5th bag...you have to keep feeding. It DOES work. However, you may underestimate the initial problem. I realized there were not "just a few" - but an army! The feeding frenzy does slow down and then you just maintain it until it stops. I've slowed down quite a bit, but they are still eating. I'm beginning to wonder, however, if there is rodent sign somewhere that says "PARTY OVER AT THIS HOUSE!" - I guess I will eventually see.

It refers to the date that the items were packed into the carton. Individual items have dates that let you know if they are still good or not. Generally, anything over 4 years isn't a good bet to eat unless you are starving to death.

I never had one hummingbird use it. Although it is vacuum sealed, the nectar will not stay fresh indefinitely. If the weather is hot, or the bag is in the sunlight for 2 hours or more on a continual basis, I would throw it out after 3 to 5 days - depending on how hot the bag gets. These are not surgically sterile bags, so there will be a modicum of bacteria in them when filled. Consequently, any bacteria in there will just love the dark, sweet, warm enviroment. I went back to the old style feeders. I can see when the liquid is getting cloudy. And, like I said, I didn't have one hummingbird use it. Hope you have better luck.

Good morning Janice,At some Rock Quarry for for away. I had to be humorists at least about it. Anyway I really am not sure and may have been China for it has know markings and I trashed the papers on it. I do know it is a work of art and if you buy it that sucker is heavy so best call a crane company for assistance. If your going to leave it in one place you will be all right but moving it around may get old quick. We use it for setting our crock pot and Dehydrator on that reaches temperature of up to 400 degrees. It is so far well worth the money and sure you will like it. Hope this info helped.

I just searched the label and found information on the contents, but nothing on the origin. I only know my dog loves this toy and has been unable to destroy any of this line. Before this, her longest toy lasted about 5 minutes. I think she's had this well over six month along with the alligator and the bunny.
