Just wanted to double check that these little dark worms in my crickets are ok, I'm pretty sure I heard they're ok.

If they are black and look like they have a wee bit of fuzz on them then those are cleaner bugs.. I hate them and kill them when mine come in with them. They gross me out though.

If you can try to warm them up first before you toss them... I had a quarter of my order come back from being frozen. They do warm back up though if they did not actually die.

Yes white cricket just molted. They do like dubias as they grow. It will darken up after.

Yeah I still have them, I'm going to see if they warm to life in the morning, I figured as much with the white cricket lol. Weird they have been in Florida for a while and still frozen

Dump them in a larger bin... Otherwise the live ones will die off from the dead ones... Toss food in one half so they have something to eat as they start to separate from the dead. Add a few toilet paper rolls on that side of the bin for them to climb on.
