I've been crabbing for about two years, and I still have yet to find a place that keeps their crabs in appropriate conditions.
In fact, besides Petco, every store keeps them in this open plastic tub that little five year olds can stick their nasty hands into and play with the crabs... and there are usually about fifty to a 30 gallon tank, and all the sizes are all mixed together.
I just lost my last crab and am really fed up, tired, and just plain sad.
I love hermit crabs and would like to try again in a month or so, but there's just no way I can bring myself to get another crab that comes from such poor conditions- it's a gamble to see if they'll survive the first week!
