I hate Wal-Mart. I already made a pledge to never shop there again. It's not only hermit crabs either; my friend went there and saw a dead cat 8| in the warehouse area, talk about WEIRD.

I think you should have crab-napped her! It would have been for a good cause lol.

Haha. I asked if they would give me a discount, because she would likely die anyway, but they woudn't! That was when she was shelless. Man, I hate wal-mart, but the other stores rarely have hermies.

I hate Wal -Mart! By the way, it's good that you bought the poor hermit crab and all, but that's just helping the business out. Once they realize that people will not buy any pets do to the crappy conditions of the tank, they might change, they might not. But they would be stupid not to. I have never went to Wal-Mart for pets or pet supplies, and hopefully never will. Such animal cruelty... :(

That's the only place around here that usually has hermit crabs. Other pet stores get them in every few months. And I know that whoever else buys the hermit crabs probably won't have a good knowledge of them, and it bugs me. I'm going to make up a care sheet and give it to them the next time I get one.

I have hated Walmart ever since I heard about their crab-in-a-cup. Anyone who is upset about this should encourage everyone to write to Walmart about their feelings and concerns! I know I am going to do that.

Mine doesn't do the crab-in-a-cup. I have signed the petition against it for wal-mart that do that.

The Wal-Mart near me only sells fish, I have never seen a crab there. But they do sell fish, out of a tank of 10 fish there will probably be 4 that are living. I only just noticed Wal-Mart sold animals...

Yeah. The other Wal-mart in the nearest town only sells fish. They're fish are kept in great conditions, except the bettas.
