Notice it says you are in Ontario, where abouts are you? I'm from Ontario too.

The sand they used at my walmart looked like normal sand, but not sure. It wasn't deep enough. They were in like one of the little tiny fish tanks in the fish section. Maybe 1 cubic foot? There was two spare shells (not even pearl interior like most prefer) out of like 12 crabs that were cramed in this small space. They had only one tiny dish with what looked like fish flakes so i'm assuming its some crap store bought hermit crab food and another with water that was practically all dried up. They didn't have a treated water spray bottle, so assuming they've been drinking tap water. I have no idea what the humidity or the temperature of the little tank was because they didn't have a thermometer/hydrometer. All they had for hides was this piece of wood, which probably wasn't even a safe wood eihter. It looks like they never clean it or provide fresh food often.
