I know PetSmart sells them :wink:

Best days to get them fresh are Tuesdays and Thursdays when they get their cricket / worms shipments in *cough inside info cough*

not all petsmarts get them on the same days....feeders come on fridays in the southwest.

also, make sure that you check them first, any pet store that does a low vollume in feeders can have them sitting there for quite some time and then you get moths, and with mealworms, beetles.

My petco something has them but mostly doesn't. I have a reptile and fish store by my house that normally has them. I also order worms from mulberryfarms.com.

problem with them turning into beetles is that they are beetles, move fast, and tend to escape :lol:

my first day as specialty manager, i inventoried the fridge with the live food in it...every single cup of mealworms were beetles...not really a fun first day for me.

waxworms are VERY bad to have in your house... you do not want the moths getting out...

Nomad, That makes sense!
I have a local petshop that carries waxworms. The Petcos I have been to say they carry butterworms, but they never have them in when I check. I asked, and they said they don't get enough requests. . .
I figure, why advertise something if you don't have it? Instead, just advertise that you can get them upon request.
THey do carry waxworms though.
