    Gently tilt the box so they slide to the back before you go poking around :wink:
    Oh no...I'm still skirred I'd poke one of the little things.
    Maybe if I leave some food near the box, they can scratch their way out?

    Those poor little guys are probably weak from dehydration. I don't know if they'd have enough strength left to get out on their own

    Their growth is probably being stunted from lack of sunlight ! LOL Better open a tiny corner so they can get fresh air and that much needed sunlight!

    Oh dear tlrnhi... sounds like yours might be alive, in which case you cant open it until May... It'll need six months quarantine to make sure is doesnt spread any problems to the rest of your stash....

    I like the secret santa thing, but I think customs are party poopers, making us have declaration labels on the parcels. Still excited though. That date and time should be ok for me.

    I told Dh mine might be alive and that everyone else get's to shake and smell theirs, but not me. He wouldn't budge just one inch. That's what I get for yelling "It's my Secret Santa gift!"

    Well, I put a dish of food and water near the box. Got up this morning and the food was gone. Can't figure out for the life of me HOW they got out! I can't find any tape missing or anything.
    I have pictures and will post them later.

    Now if I was to let her open it, I'd have to let everyone open their gifts....it wouldn't be fair to let Terri and not everyone else now would it? LOL

    Nice try Terri! LOL :)
