Shipping Question

[weimers75]

I am planning a shipment of zoos for next week, they will be shipped overnight. My question is, if its in the lower 60's here and where they will be shipped, should I use a heat pack or will this make them too warm? Thanks!

I agree with Coralnutz....Colder water is less a threat to survival then water that get's to hot and decreases oxygen in the shipping water.

If they will fit ship in a thermos and its even better.

I already have a stryfoam box, I planned to use that.

I like to ship with very little water...... just a splash to keep things moist but not submerged

Vette why so little amounts of water?

So far they seem to recover faster.....

I also agree with coralnutz.. anything over 70's, they don't normally get heat packs unless the recipient requests it...

good luck Michelle..
