alive?
No fridge.
I plan to keep them in a ice chest in the garage.
Should I break the sack and let them sit in tap water
put ice under the sack with the lid open
or any suggestions?
ALSO, sack wont fit laying down in ice chest. Their in a vertical position right now in the ice chest. worry the lowers ones will get crushed.
No fridge.

Don't most people just put them in the shade in the grass with wet towels over them?

Make sure that the top is either open or cracked open

Do not let them sit in water unless you shave an aerator in the water.
put ice under the sack with the lid open
Place the ice on top of the bag, leave the top of the ice chest cracked, drain open
or any suggestions? ALSO, sack wont fit laying down in ice chest. They’re in a vertical position right now in the ice chest. worry the lowers ones will get crushed
Pour them into ice chest and pour ice over the top. Again, drain open and crack the lid

Put them in an ice chest with some frozen broken copper tubing pieces scattered throughout.

Any sort of plastic box with a lid that you can poke holes into top of? like a storage box

Ice chest, bag of ice dumped on top of the sack in the ice chest. Leave the plug out.
Or hang the sack outside and drape it with a wet towel.

Pour them in the bathtub, your wife will understand.

I'll add - prop your ice chest up on one end with a big rock or something similar so that it drains well out the drain hole on the opposite end.

Don't use tap water because of the chemicals.

This guy boils.

Bust the sack open, fill half of ice chest with water, half with ice. Pour in 2 cannisters of salt. Make sure the lid is closed tight so no critters get in. Keep the drain closed.
Can keep them for weeks this way

The pros at petsmart say about a gallon per inch of fish, so you probably gonna need 500 gallon aquarium to be safe.
keep them cool and well ventilated.

It turns the frogs gay and will probably turn your crawfish gay as well. Then you will risk turning yourself gay when you eat the gay crawfish

Get them a room at the Holiday Inn.

Lay on side, cover with ice tilt cooler so water can drain. I've kept them alive for 3-4 days.
