Is there any more info on anyone providing frozen termites for sale?

Have ordered some they are supposed to show up tomorrow hope they freeze again ok

Hi Faza,

Who did you end up ordering from? What quantities did they come in and what was the cost? Is it still $10/700 ml tub?

Thanks

Myzo

Ordered from petshopone they were supposed to be sent Monday and arrive Tuesday but haven't arrived can't remember the exact price as I ordered them over a week ago I think it was about $60 for 4 containers delivered

Hi Faza,

How did you go with youy frozen termites?
Did they arrive? Were they in good condition?

I'm also interested to hear about the quality and quantity of these termites. If possible could someone please take a photo of the contents of a container and post on the forum....
Would be much appreciated,
Sam

First lot arrived paced in a foam box in Chinese Takeaway away containers with big ice blocks packed with them.
Unfortunately the ice smashed all the containers apart during transit and I ended up with a muddy termite soup which was useless to freeze, all got put in the bin.
Contacted the shop and they are sending a replacement hopefully packed a bit better, thought they would have been here by now.
if I am home when they arrive I will post photos.

Thanks for the update Faza. Not a good start for petshopone and their new product. Looking forward to seeing some photos...

Yes, thanks Faza.

Hopefully these are just teething problems.

Look forward to seeing how the next lot arrives.

I am from Cessnock area, I always enjoyed going bush with my 2 sons to get whiteants, but now we cant go to local forests because of the laws.
I hope the petshop dosnt deplete the whiteants stocks in our area too much.
Its funny I first froze whiteants about 26 years ago & when i told friends about it, they thought I was nuts.
