HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I'm very saddened by all the awesome shops and websites I've seen selling yummy looking foods, shells, and even equipment (UTHs etc) but do not ship to Canada. I don't have my hermies yet, but want to have a nice library of places to choose from. Any chance my fellow Canadian Crabbers here could help with a little list?

I purchased food from Canadian Crab Connection, and my crabs seem to have enjoyed the food I got them. They have sample packs you can try as well, and shells etc. I had a bit of a delay in getting my order, since they are a small operation but in the end I was satisfied.
I did order from hermit crab patch before I discovered Canadian crab connection but shipping was a lot so as long as I can get what I need from a Canadian seller I'll do so.

Some stuff remember doesn't have yo be crab specific, like I got crushed oyster shells, cuttlebone and dried mealworms from the bird department of any pet store. I order what I can't get easily, like bee pollen etc.

The shell selection at crab connection is pretty limited so far though, so I order my shells from Naples seashell co. I do big orders with several sizes so I have lots on hand and don't have to order as frequently. The shipping price you ate quoted on the website is not the Canadian shipping price. They will email you in a day or two any tell you the actual price, but its never too much more and they won't charge you unless you agree to the extra.

My UTH was originally just bought from a pet shop, but when I upgraded my tank I went with an ultratherm from the bran farm. Yes, shipping was more to Canada but its totally worth it and not much more than a large one from a let store that are hit and miss to work.

I hope this helps. I'd be interested to know if anyone else from Canada has any recommendations!

Have you checked out our Shopping Resources page? Shops that ship to Canada are marked.

Thanks so much for the info Ash, and I didn't see that thread, thanks CallaLily!
