if it's cold, will the frogs freeze when shipped?

The company will only ship when there are at least like 3 days of warm enough weather (greater than 50 maybe).

They do but the company will usually only ship in appropriate temperatures. If the little guy does perish on the way, the company usually replaces it (unless it was negligence on the part of the purchaser, for example not being home to receive the delivery and leaving it outside for days).

I have not tried to freeze them. And I don't think it would work very well. If the expanding liquid didn't break them, the extreme cold would probably make them more prone to crack

I don't have a good feel for the weather--if the shipping isn't thru warm areas you'd probably be ok, otherwise I wouldn't risk it even with the brine

We ship them via USPS Priority 2-Day mail. If it's going to be colder than 45 in your city we ask that you request to have them held for pickup at your local post office. This will give you our 100% live delivery guarantee. Thank you!

If you keep your cold packs on the frig and not the freezer you won't have any freezing problem. I have immunology serums that I keep for a trip that involves an overnight stay and the serums are still cool when I'' able to put them back in my frig.

They ship a random selection of plants, so it is hard to answer your question. It depends on what you get. Some would probably survive outdoors in indirect light during warm months. I doubt any of these would survive a winter freeze. Perhaps if they were covered from the winter elements.

Yes, if it got cold it will be rock hard. Just put it in warm water and it becomes clear and liquid. Good luck, it will turn out just fine.

The water will get warm enough to keep from freezing,though you must not ignore for days due to evaporation.Also keep clean for the birds just like you do in the summer time that algae will form in this.I use a capful of bleach in a gallon of water in a milk jug & store at room temp to keep from freezing.Good luck & enjoy your feathered friends!

Yes! They are packed in an insulated box with ice packs. So when you get them they are still cold and you just have to put them directly into the refrigerator.

I doubt it. Just got mine today from Kentucky and it's been freezing over there. It's wrapped good.

Since it is shipped by UPS with no shipping restrictions, my guess is that is probably regularly frozen when shipped in the winter.

Probably not. Most places don't send it in a cooler. It needs to be kept cool. If the shipper is Kirkman, they will send with ice pack but add quite a bit to the cost for this. Even so, many times the ice pack is no longer cool when received, especially during hot weather.

They tolerate heat a bit better than cold. If you think it is cold enough for the culture to freeze, I would wait to order until it is a bit warmer. Or make sure you will be at home when it arrives.

Weather will not be a factor on this box. It's solidly constructed, injection molded plastic. It doesn't become brittle when cold.

Hello John! As with most other supplement companies, we do not ship products with a cold/ice pack. Manufacturers are aware that products are not going to be refrigerated 100% of the time during transit, therefore the amount of organisms exceeds the product label claim to ensure that by the time the product gets to you, it will still contain the amount indicated on the label. We hope this information is helpful! Jessi V.

They will turn solid when frozen and slowly thaw. If you keep them in a good insulated cooler they should stay frozen for the flight

No, it does not ship cold. I don't believe their are any preservatives. Container is sealed.
