Storing livestock from LFS in a car

I would try and pick up your items at the end of your trip. Even if they are in a blanket and a cooler it might not be enough. You may want to consider a heat pack or two.

make friends with a local - offer beer in exchange for floating goods until you're ready to leave

I'm going to do the same thing Friday. I've got a styro cooler and bought a bunch of heat packs at Wally. The packs were about a buck and a half each, very affordable. They are in the sporting goods section. Hope it works, critters will be in the cooler for about 8 hours before they get home.

What's the temperature in the rink? If not too cold, you could bring it in.

are you coming to calgary? If you're buying from Gold's i'm not too far away from there. About 5-10 minutes north up 68th street from there. send me a pm telling me the details of when and what you would need stored and we could maybe work something out.

Thanks for the offers and advice guys, I won't be heading to Golds, but I am going to try the heatpack and styro container idea. Its just for a few inverts, no fish, so it should be alright.

I got an order of peppermints, nassarius snales and hermits sent out in October on the bus. The temp in the styro container was 55 f when I opened it. Everything was groggy, I warmed them slowly over about 8 hours spent another couple dripping water and everything is alive and well today. I wonder if the lower temps slowed them down and created less stress during the trip? Hope all works out for you.
