I have never had that issue with my carrots and they last for months in the fridge.

Mine start to wilt within three days for some reason (in the fridge). I wonder what I am doing wrong. I always see those bags of carrots in the grocery stores and never buy them because I think to myself no one eats that many carrots within such a short amount of time, except maybe if they are doing a carrot cake or smoothie or something else very carrot-centric.

Carrots? Do you just leave them open air in the middle of the fridge or something? I keep them in the bag in the veggie drawer.

I've actually got to make sure they don't get mushy/moldy because all the moisture gets trapped.

That must be it. I don't bag them.

Most modern fridges have a humidity control on the crisper/veggie drawer. That most likely accounts for the disparity. There also regional humidity to consider. Living in a dryer climate, your carrots may dry out faster than those in a humid climate.
