Locust Temperature
Hi all,
I'm just wondering at what temps Locust can survive, I bought 6 tubs of locust today and when I got home (after some traffic jams and sitting about in the car) 3 tubs had completely died. I might be cheeky and take them back to the shop and claim they had just randomly died (reckon I'd get away with it?). But I didn't think being sat next to me on the passenger seat they could get that hot? I'll be sticking them in the boot next time for sure. Cheers, Ant.

I agree. I'd try to take them back, my locusts survive best in hot, dry temps. I once had one in 36 deg c and he turned from a hopper into a locust and i called him Loki and would not feed him to the lizard. I was gutted when he died.
He lasted months.

I took them back, they replaced them. They were slightly confused as to why they had died but never mind, I got some more
