30 Live Mexican Jumping Beans: 6 Cases With 5 Beans In Each Case

Fun. Nice instruction & facts sheet included. Only 1 of the 30 did not seem to be alive.

So fun!!! This is the third time I have ordered beans from Amazing Beans, so obviously I have been happy with them. They crack EVERYBODY up! This is so much better than showing somebody something on your phone or tablet. My order arrived very quickly, was packaged well, and the beans were insulated well from the cold. I intend to slip some of the cute little boxes into my grandkids' stockings. They will love them. One other thing..... I emailed Andrew at Amazing Beans with a question and he replied within the hour. THEN he actually called me to follow up on his email. VERY pleasant man! Support his small American business by checking out these hilarious beans. Great little inexpensive items to give the young kids to share with THEIR friends. Their friends will be grateful and schools love the lesson of the beans hatching into moths. They really will with a little time and some TLC. AMAZING!!!!

4/6/2022 Original review: I remember seeing these at a local mall when I was a kid. It always intrigued me that they were so often moving around. These arrived to us in the mail, and as described in the included instructions, they were pretty quiet until they got warmed up a little. 5/5/2022 10:30am - Mexican Jumping beans go dormant when it’s cool. Pretty much all of ours seem to have stopped moving after a week or two. Our house isn’t all that warm, so they moved gently, and at night they settled down as the house cooled. But they have pretty much stopped altogether after about 1 month. As I type this, I have moved them to a warmer spot near the computer, hoping that they have just been dormant. I will report back as to whether they activate again as they warm. The instructions say that you can put them into a dormant state by putting them in the butter compartment of the fridge (not the freezer!) but we have not done that at all. But even cooling down below 70°F seems to be enough to make them go dormant. For the record, our house is almost always between 68°F and 73°F. The area that I have them basking in now is between 88°-91°F, which I’m sure is quite a bit cooler than the Sonoran desert where they came from. If they all get active I will move them. More later. Update 5/9/2022: Ok, well, they didn’t move much. I don’t know if they didn’t get warm enough, although I would think that high 80s would have been warm enough. The computer that I set them on wasn’t warm all that long, so I suspect that they may have cooled down enough to go to sleep again. I will try again soon when this computer is working harder and warming up.

When these first arrived, I stuck them in the fridge (like the package said) and I honestly forgot about them for about a week. When I remembered to take them out, they were not doing much. I held them in my hand and breathed on them, and one or two started to wiggle just a tiny bit, but that was about it. After staying out of the fridge overnight, a few were wiggling, just a tiny bit, but not much to speak of. I tried putting them on a heating pad, and ALL of them started moving a BUNCH! Point is, don’t assume they are duds if they are not moving. Try heating them up! I think that there should be more instructions about this, so that people don’t assume they got dead beans.

These little guys started hopping within a minute outta the package! Even comes with a game sheet and complete info on how to care for them. I loved getting them as a young girl, but never had the full life story of how they got into the “pods”. Must have for Xmas gift/stocking for any age past 4. I’m 64 and lovem still. All 30 are jumping like crazy 🤪

Love them so fun I'm gonna buy more

I'm very amazed by these beans!! 29 out of 30 survived even though it was in our hot garage for at least 5 whole days. These beans are super cool but they didn't jump as much as I expected. I would still recommend these beans.

Over half of them were dead when I got them out of the mailbox, really disappointed

Absolute garbage not one of the eight packs I bought jumped what a disappointment
