Floyd, VA Crab needs a new home w/ a friend

Post by green76thumb » Sun Apr 13, 2025 1:57 pm

Location (nearest large city, state, country): We're about 45 minutes west of Roanoke Va
Would You Be Willing to Ship? (Applicable in the USA Only): Not sure how to safely do that
Number of Crabs, Size of The Crabs: 1 crab in a shell about the size of a billiard ball? Have had him for about 3 years
Supplies and Tank That Are Included (If Any): None
Adoption or Supply Fee Being Asked (If Any): You drive or pay shipping, no other fee asked
I Would Like to Be Contacted B: PM

Any Other Information:
We got 'Ollie' from Petsmart about 3 years ago as a very little crab, along with a companion (who died last week). Ollie may be an Ecuadorian Hermit Crab, his eyes look different from the Purple Pincher type. He is VERY reclusive and has never wanted to be out when we are here. We are looking for a home for him where he could have a companion about his size. (It doesn't seem like it would be wise to introduce a very small companion into his habitat here.) If you want to adopt him, it should be with the understanding that he probably won't afford you much pleasure, but hopefully he could bring comfort to another crab his size that is lonely. Because of how reclusive he has been, I have no idea for sure when he last molted, but it does seem like we noticed him emerging, very much covered in sand, a couple of weeks ago.

Emailed OP to find out if crab has been adopted so the ad can be deleted.
