Livefood Freshness Guarantee

Nothing is more important than having a reliable live food delivery service, which is why we ship our live foods 5 days per week with fast couriers. Quality is assured as most of our live foods are packed the same day they are sent, and sent directly from the breeder to make sure they are in the best condition possible. However, as the parcels will be spending a day or two in transit there is a chance that they may not arrive in the best condition. For your peace of mind we have implemented the Livefood Freshness Guarantee! If you have any trouble with your live food delivery, the live food size, or quality, simply reach out to our team for a speedy resolution.
