Wow, your letter must have truly made an impact! Fantastic job, well done.
Keeping a calm, professional, caring approach always does make more of a positive impact than anger and frustration. You should definitely feel very good about having been such a strong influence. Well done!
6 hermit crabs - 3 PPs and 3 Equadorians

I spoke to a manager of a store who does not keep a lid on the Hermit Crab Tank, and she refused to listen when I let her know how much humidity the crabs need- I got in touch with the RSPCA who advised it has nothing to do with them, so, I then got in touch with the Department of Fisheries who went and inspected the pet store crabbies, and said there is no problem with having no lid - as they get a bath once a week, and have some damp substrate. What morons! - This is the department of fisheries who should know better.
