If you were packing 30-40 hatchlings for shipping, how would you pack them inside the box? Also, where have you found is the best place to get shipping boxes?

I'd probably go with deli cups and put a bit of bedding in each or wadded up paper towel. Mutliple babies to each container isn't a terrible idea depending on the containers and size of babies. I'd do maybe 2-3 at most though. They should go into something that wont allow them to flop around much during handling. If you're sending hatchling corns or the like....dont use something like a big Cool Whip tub unless you put a nice big wad of paper towels in it so they dont roll around in it like Bingo Balls. Then obviously stuff the containers in an insulated box and allow some holes for air too. Use wadded up newspaper to fill some of the space in the box and secure the tubs from shifting around.
