Welcome to the Team's Tips
This week's tip is from:
Richard Nation - Livefoods Manager
With the weather being so hot, Richard has this advice:
Keep animals and livefood away from windows, make sure that all animals have thermostats controlling their environments and have access to fresh water. Also, keep them lower down on the shelves as heat rises. If you have air conditioning – use it.
Crickets generate heat, so keep the tubs spaced apart if possible. All Waxworms, Meal and Earth worms (but not Morio’s), need to be kept chilled at about 9-11C.

ProRep Have some new, fruity flavours of Jelly Pot
Jelly pots have been a popular product range for ProRep and are a great impulse buy if positioned near the till. ProRep have now launched 2 new flavours to complement the existing range. With the most popular flavours being fruit based the NEW Mango and Melon flavours will sit nicely with the current range of ProRep jelly pots and being brightly coloured (orange and green respectively) they will stand out from the current range and help encourage adventurous keepers to try all the flavours.
