Wasn't sure what topic to put this under, but I just thought I'd vent about this post...I wish I could adopt these guys.
I got on craigslist today to check things out like I always do, and I came across this post. They are located about 30 minutes from me.
"five hermit crabs with cage
cage is bird cage with wire on inside so they can climb
comes with food and cage and etc
10.00 for all "
It is so sad how uneducated people are about these guys...those poor hermies.
This makes me sick...

Oh yeah, people treat them like warm-blooded animals all the time. *sigh*
The poor things can't produce enough body heat on their own so of course they aren't going to last long without a heat source.
