HARTFORD, CT
I am a school teacher in Hartford, CT and was recently gifted a full tank with complete setup. My little kindergarteners would love to spend the rest of the year learning and exploring with some hermit crabs! I have no experience, but love learning. I read that rescue was the only way to go. I hope someone is looking to rehome some crabs for our classroom!

I live in Worcester county massachusetts and am looking to adopt 2 crabs. Have tank all set up, temp and humidity holding in the 70s each for a month now, have read just about everything there is to read, I’m ready! I have never had a land hermit crab but I had a salt water hermie, Sebastian, for around 10 years, he molted numerous times (on the surface, tho never actually saw him do it) and I have all the prior and prospective shells available. I have a 30 gal tank so 2 crabs is the max, I have it set up with a suspended natural rope netting over the surface to double the play/climbing options. I recently lost my Amazon parrot soul mate of 40 years so I can commit to my critter buddies. Also have fish, 3 rescue cats and 1 rescue parakeet. We would drive an hour easily to pick up the crabs. Thanks!

Hi there,
I’m not a crab owner myself, but one of my little sisters was charged with her class crab over summer break. The thing is, there used to be three of them; however, two recently passed away (of natural causes - they were old) leaving the last one alone. From what I’ve read, hermit crabs are social and should be kept in groups of 2+ so I was wondering if anyone local was looking to offload at least one so that my sister’s class crab isn’t lonely anymore.
Thanks!
