i keep looking in at the hermies at petco and i want to rescue them so bad bc they aren't taken care of like they should be. i want to buy them all and write a letter to someone preventing big chains that no nothing about hermies from selling them, know what i mean? it's horrible!

try talking to them face-to-face. or calling the manger, writing a letter works too. i feel your pain, it's really annoying to see the crabs suffer.

the fact that the employees get only like a few days to learn about each type of animal is insane. if i werent' allergic to every other kind of animal i would so work there in the reptile/fish section just for the hermit crabs! lol

i went to petco in memphis tennesee and every animal in that store had a perfect aquariumto live in until bought except the hermit crabs. the hermies had no water in pool, the subtrate was potting soil the log that they climbed on had a wierd fungus at the bottom, and the food was molded, heck! it wasn't hermie food! It was crappy bird food. that was almost concidered a torture chamber for hermit crabs in my mind . when i bought homer in that same store,THEY OFFERED TO PUT HIM IN A CARDBOARD BOX! whoever does the care 4 the hermies must be perrty dumb >[

Cardboard boxes are okay... some pet stores just give their customers a paper bag to carry their newly purchased hermit crabs.

With the cardboard box the pet store gives just keep an eye on it every couple minutes. There have been a couple crabbers that by the time they got home the hermies tore a hole in the thin box and were somewhere in the car. Some pet stores have also put them in a plastic bag, much like a gold fish or such just minus the water.

gold-fish bags for hermies... are you serious?! the pet store I go to has the sense of using these clear plastic containers (a bit like tupperware) with holes in the top for the crabs with food and sand but fish bags...

people at pet stores can be very retarted indeed, i spoke to a man telling a hermie was suffering of pps ordead in cage but al he did was toss him to a place in a cage like whatever must be stupid that boy
