This Hermit Crabs were great and beautiful! The four of them arrived perfectly and in good health. I was careful to pick them up from my mail box and soon as I have the alert of them being delivered because it was a very hot day.

    • Disappointing Experience with Fragile Hermit Crabs
Style: 2 Live Crabs+3 Extra Shells
I recently purchased two hermit crabs for my daughter online with high hopes of providing them a comfortable and suitable habitat to thrive in. We currently have two other hermit crabs, and knowing that they are social we wanted to expand the crabitat. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts to ensure that their environment met all the necessary requirements, both crabs arrived alive but tragically passed away within a week. During that week they were very inactive, but I attributed this to post purchase stress. The crabs were incredibly tiny, about the size of a dime, shell included. While I understood that they are very delicate creatures, I expected them to be a bit more resilient given the care and attention I devoted to their setup. I ensured they had the proper substrate, maintained the right temperature, and monitored the humidity levels closely. We kept them separate from the other crabs because of their size, the habitat was designed to mimic their natural environment as closely as possible, with plenty of hiding spots, a variety of shells (even though finding shells that tiny was tough considering most pet stores and amazon shells do not have shells that tiny), and even a little water pools of fresh and salt water for them to bathe in. The fact that both crabs succumbed so quickly was disheartening. It's unclear whether this was a result of the how tiny and immature they were when I received them or if there were underlying health issues. Regardless, it's a frustrating experience, especially after putting in the effort to create an ideal home for them. In the future I would probably check to see the size and maturity of the crabs being sent. ... show more

    • Awesome crab! I want more!

Really active and good sized crab!!!! Arrived seemingly healthy and running around allover. He was traveling in the mail for about 5 days from Washington to Utah. I wasn’t sure if he was going to be ok by the time he made it. The minute I opened the container he was wanting to run around. He was trying to escape his water bath bowl. I put him in his habitat with 2 other crabs we already had. He’s been exploring and climbing non stop. My other crabs aren’t nearly this active. After about an hour he found another shell he likes and switched. I’m extremely happy with this guy! Too bad my tank is small because I wanna order more! I’ll update this review if something happens in the next few days or so. ... show more

Two very healthy hermit crabs. Each one had its own plastic covered cup with paper and a sponge. It is truly amazing to see one shipped across the country. They are the same size which is great. I’m very pleased. Thank you!!

    • How to Buy / Maintain Hermit Crabs
Style: 1 Live Crab+1 Extra Shell
Please don't buy a hermit crab this way. They stress very easily (which can happen while shipping) and can lose limbs and die. That is exactly what happened to mine, which broke my heart. Many of the reviews said their crab arrived dead or died shortly after. If you are going to get hermit crabs, please do your research and maybe try to rescue from an ad on Craigslist for someone selling theirs. Also, there is a lot of misinformation about hermit crabs. Be weary of who you listen to, including pet stores, because they are usually just trying to profit. The hermit crab organization online is a great resourceful community to get the information you need with hermit crab care. Get 2 or more hermit crabs at a time (they travel in large packs, not solitary), and offer at least a 10 gallon (preferably more) with 2 hermit crabs or more if you get more crabs. Also, provide at least 4-6 inches of coconut fiber substrate (Eco Earth is about the best). It should be enough the hermit crabs can completely bury themselves in and needs to be damp for humidity. Plus, offer 2 shells slightly larger than each crab (for each crab) and no painted shells that are toxic for them. Polished shells with no chemicals can be safe. Then, provide fresh fruits, veggies, and even egg shells (for calcium), etc. Freeze-dried food, like fruits and veggies, shrimp, or mealworms, are also safe as long as chemicals and preservatives aren't added. As far as water, they need two different water dishes. Ramp bowls can be good to help them get in and out easier and to try to avoid drowning. One dish should have purified bottled water or filtered water. Tap water can kill them and is toxic with the chlorine. You can also buy a water conditioner that will dechlorinate tap water. The other dish needs to have salt water (either premixed in a bottle or use a separate conditioner just for dechlorinating and created salt water). Don't add iodized salt to water, because it has harmful chemicals. Lastly, offer climbing things, such as chollo logs, climbing nets, and artificial plants, so they can have enrichment in their environment and explore. One more note I'd like to make is that they need the temperature to be between 72 - 80 degrees. You need a heat pad, as well as a thermostat (to regulate the heat pad temperature to keep it from overheating). Mist their cage daily with dechlorinated (or purified bottle) water to add humidity to help their breathing (they have gills and need a combination of air and moisture). If you do all of this, you should have healthy and happy hermit crabs that thrive and can live up to 30 years! ❤ ... show more

    • Okay
Style: 2 Live Crabs+2 Extra Shells
I bought the hermit crabs at the start of March recieved them on the 9th. One has died and it's only been 10 days. The other is doing okay. I don't know if shipping was the cause of untimely death or not. It took a while for them to arrive. Small in size too, won't be ordering again.

    • Arrived alive and well!!!
Style: 3 Live Crabs+3 Extra Shells
The media could not be loaded. I just had mine delivered! They all made it alive and well. I placed my order a week ago and they arrived right on schedule. The only complaint I might have had is that they weren’t packaged as live animals so they weren’t delivered immediately after landing at the post office, but I happen to know our carrier so when I explained the situation they immediately delivered them to my house. Other than that, three perfect, tiny hermit crabs are in my terrarium crawling around!! Will buy again so long as I don’t encounter any problems in the next couple of days. ... show more
