    Items arrived quickly and packaged professionally. Beetles are happy in their new home and can't wait to get some meal worms soon. My chickens can't wait. hahaha

    Wonderful! After finding a darkling beetle (who she named Beet) at school and keeping it alive and loved for a term (without us knowing what it was) my daughter is delighted to have some friends for Beet! Thank you!
