Cedar in mealworm bedding?

[techgirl]

Now I'm just a tad miffed. I went and bought some mealworms at a store I frequent. I got home and opened the container and found cedar in the bedding. I called the store and told them and got "well they don't eat the bedding" I replied that the oils are still considered toxic and I can't feed these to my reptiles. Then they have the nerve to try and convince me that it must be pine and I don't know it. I told them it reeks of cedar. I now have to bring it back tomorrow to get a refund. I have pics of the bedding, what do you think? Was I wrong to ask for a refund?

You are absolutely correct in requesting a refund. Unless someone invented a new cedar-scented red pine.......

That's what I thought. Thank you Cat. I can't believe that the store had the nerve to try and be nasty with me.

and what are they talking about when they say mealies dont eat their bedding. They most certainly do. it has the same makeup as chicken feed (grains), and that is what they eat as a staple.
