wal mart hermit crabs

Post by Juggernaut »

What kind do they sell? I have saved 10 so far, but I need to know if these are the kind that need saltwater.


Thank you for your help.

The most common kind sold are purple pinchers. However, it is a good ideal to keep salt water in there regardless of what kind they are. They use it when they are gonna molt. They can tell which one is salt. Walmart sells hermies. Hmmm I have to check this out.

They treat their Hermits bad. I go in looking for ones that have a shell that is way to small and ones that come out when you move their container just a little bit.

I love to go in search of hermies who need to come home with me. Thats why I have so many. I need to get me another 55 gallon so I can get more.
