Re: Hard to believe
Now I'm picturing 3 kids in trench coats standing near an alley on the bad side of town. As people walk by they whisper, "I got Purple Pinchers, Ruggies, Ecuadorians!"soilentgringa wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 12:30 pmIs this an adult or 3 kids in a trenchcoat tryna sell some crabs?
So this is the black market of hermit crabs!

Re: Hard to believe
If this person has bred them and they are a year old they will be in shells with less than 1cm openings. Mine are 2 years old and in 1.5cm openings and have been for about 6 months. YES I did breed them and yes there is proof on my breeding thread here. Is this person from Germany and called Christian?

How did the vet give them calcium boosters? Injection/lotion/food? The one crab I could see sort of clearly in the middle of the heap of containers is certainly NOT a year old. It is WAY WAY too big.

No. He's local to me. Knoxville, TN. Here's a pic of them. They are definately older than a year. So many things he said leads me to believe he's lying about everything. He gave me the vet's name. No such person.Renroc wrote:If this person has bred them and they are a year old they will be in shells with less than 1cm openings.

Re: Hard to believe
I know. Everything I've heard on here about vets taking care of hermit crabs is that they don't. The crabs looked really good but I wasn't going to pay $10 each.

Re: Hard to believe
I adopted from someone here years ago, it was a teen and his mom was the one who met us by herself. She made a remark about how he had them for a year and they grew from little tiny babies. They had actually died and he was secretly replacing them with bigger crabs - the originals shells were still buried, no way a crab grows that fast!
