Mail order Hermies
I am looking to get some Straws - but after LOTS and LOTS of research I cannot find any local stores that sell them - I found a few companies that will ship them to me - I cannot decide how I feel about "Mail order hermies" - the shipping prices are outrageous which i think is a good thing but it seems to be something that would be stressful for the hermies, at the same time, how do they get to the pet shops? I cannot manage to argue this out with myself as i am bias as I really really want them - I would appreciate and input/opinions and prior experiences?

Re: Mail order Hermies
Well In My opinion I would not order online. I don't trust some of those sites and they are way over priced. I ad A friend who had really bad luck with one and never got her order and took forever to get her money back, I Actually would travel to states around me to get crabs . Just Call ahead and do A weekend trip, Most Petco's carry them. Good luck, Straws are delicate and I Think the Shipping would not guarentee the health. JMO Good Luck!
