Ewwwwww!!!!

Ok, so I'm not one to be afraid of bugs.. Aside from maggotts, roaches, and I do have a bad pheobia of centapieds... But other then that, I could care less.
I get crickets by the thousand to feed to my Bearded Dragon, and they dont bother me... But this morning I was getting ready to leave and decided to check and make sure the crickets 'water pillow' was full and that they had food, but they didnt.
so I grabbed a thing of Flukers High-Calcium Cricket Feed that I just bought like two days ago (and I've never used the brand, but I had heard good things so I figured I would try it), and guess what I saw when I unscrewed the lid?
HUNDREDS of little discusting bugs crawling around in the food!! I dont know what they were/are, Ive never seen anything like them before... I'm used to worms too by the way, because I feed him pheonix worms as well, but these.. EWWWW!!!
Now the containers just sitting there, and I can't return it today because the pet store I go to is closed- which sucks because I didnt know that they were closed today and so my snakes can't eat until tomorrow!!

Todays not lookin so hot...:no:

The snake will be ok till tomorrow.............i wonder how long that pet store had that food before it sold..........thats pretty nasty

I bought some cricket drink, and I had it for about 3 months, and it turned this dark green color and really slimy. Ick. The snake should be find for another day, crickets will eat just about anything I think.

Well I really dont think it was the pet store I got it from's fault- I think it was the company. I had read on it, "do not feed if insect-infested", which is really the reason I looked- but seriously, if you read that, would you really think that there WOULd be insects? I didnt- but I was wrong- ewww....

Snake? Are we reading the same thing?

This exact same thing happened to me, we returned it, and wanted to get another one, but every single one on the shelf had bugs in it, musta been a bad batch from the factory.

Y'all have some pics of these little critters.. i'm interested to see what they look like.

i know ..... i have no idea what i was talking about, and i don't remember this thread at all! maybe i was drinking or something!

Use potatoes, Flukers is crap. I think I remember reading what kind of bugs they are, something about they lay eggs in the food and can hatch later( so yes, most cans still have the eggs) I remember someone mentioning moth larva?
