Does anyone know what Happend to....

Post by Foxydiva3 »

The online site called The Hermit Crab Vendor? I have heard alot of crabbers that have been happy with their purchases but one day it was there and the next day it was gone? So I have also been looking at this site called Live hermit Crabs. Anyone have luck with that one? I have been planning getting some more exotics before the winter hits but now its not looking so good, Thx :)

I believe this is why the post was made? The domain is parked... as in it is not online any longer.

I only heard of a couple people who bought from them and they were happy with their order. One unfortunately had all the exotics die though one by one that she ordered. Not due to the packaging however... possibly due to PPS?
Only thing I am aware of about Livehermitcrabs.com is:

Vicki told me that Live Hermit Crabs has changed owners once again and things seem to be improving.

Has anybody ordered live crabs online?

I am wondeirng if anybody here has ordered hermit crabs online. I am extremely uneasy about doing so, but I play with the idea just because I only have Petsmart to buy them from and being friends with girls working there, I do know that their shipments have had lots of deads lately. Also, I could experience some more exotic breeds. The website I found says that they are shipped with a sponge, moss, and a snack where as Petsmarts are shipped from Florida to NY just in a bag like the fish, filled only with air. I would probably wait until the spring if I didn't do it in the fall. (my thinking is that fall and spring have the most mild weather?)

I have found this website http://www.livehermitcrabs.com/index.html and if anybody has feedback on them, it would be greatly appreciated.
