Disgusted by my local Walmart
I'm SO disgusted by whats going on at my local Walmart. They recently started selling Hermit Crabs. Not to my surprise, the conditions are HORRIBLE.
I sent them an email a few days ago, stating that they needed to improve the conditions and to please email me and I would send them proper care sheets.
They have these poor crabs in a plastic carrier, like the ones stores sell for small Rodents. No heater, no gauges, they're using that very gritty "sand" sold for Hermit Crabs, there are at least 20 crabs in this small container. The store is super air conditioned so it's FREEZING in this tank.
I received a message on my voicemail from the store manager, stating that basically my concerns were bogus and the crabs were being taken care of. "Their water and food is being changed appropriately, blah blah blah."
That was yesterday. I went there today and went to check out the crabs, and nothing had changed, no one cares. And to top it off, I leaned forward a sniffed the top of the container and all I could smell was death. A big population of those crabs are dead. I was so revolted that I left the store.
I don't know what to do. I thought of printing off a care sheet and just leaving it at the counter where the crabs are being kept.
No one there cares, I don't know what to do.
