HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I see your fish store dot com has straws for sell and on the site the reviews seem good. Has anyone gotten straws from them ? Being my temps and humidity and set up is pretty much good now I'm thinking of getting straws in the future. Does anyone know if this place is legit ?

I've never heard of them.

I personally do not recommend ordering crabs online or having them shipped.

Straws tend to be more delicate and need ample digging space and can easily be affected by slight changes in conditions.

@marandashermies has had straws for a while and can offer her experience and advice.

Yeah i would prefer to adopt them to avoid them being shipped which is something that worries me. Was curious if this store is a scam and a found a few other things online that point that they may have some issues.

I wouldn't chance it with straws. They are very sensitive to any fluctuation in habitat.

I talk to one person who used this store and said it was fine but yeah i don't feel right having a crab shipped. I'll wait for an adoption to come along.
