Has anyone on here used or deal with these guys? I got recommended by Chris I think lol
But was just curious as I ordered a bulk of 100 large locust to find quite a few dead in the bag. And also loads of small bug type things. Was wondering if it is normal or there's a problem.
I've emailed them through eBay. Saying what I found. This is my second order and was satisfied with the first order.
Anyone know if there customer service is good? N they'll help me too. I would use them regularly as I think it's a good price and great delivery. Just don't wanna lose out of quality. |

| I've ordered loads of equipment from them and never had any problems! I ordered something to my old address and contacted them to change it and got a reply within minutes saying no problem. Never ordered live food though |

Been emailing them all day and are sending me out a replacement order on Monday. Can't complain about that.
Sent over pictures of the dead locust too and were just as shocked as I was to see this.
Still not sure what the bugs are though. Does anyone else?
And what are they in there for?
These were a few of the locust too.

I ordered from them once, they honoured that order but now refuse any further orders to Northern Ireland even though they use Royal Mail and it costs no extra and is no slower. Mean if you ask me lol.
www.roachcolony.com. They are brilliant, always end up with loads more than ordered. Never had more than 1 or 2 DOA |
