. I also want to sell supplies and other products relating to the animals I breed and sell. However, I do want to import animals that need a lot of love and care that usually do not receive it at big commercial pet stores. Besides reptiles and amphibians I wanted to import exotic hermit crabs. The last import I did for myself worked out great. Almost everyone has molted and has been settling in for the past couple of months. I have plans to set up a 200+ gallon tank for them in the near future. Would it be ok if I posted my store in this section and be able to provide healthy exotics to people who live in the United States? The animals always come first and I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals including hermit crabs. I would only sell hermit crabs who have been in my care for 3+ months depending if they have molted and look completely healthy. Down the line I would like to provide captive bred exotics but I need to setup a larger tank (200+ gallons) where I want to incorporate 5 gallon water pools. I also would like to setup copepod cultures for the zoea for better survival rates than brine shrimp but that require preparation and depending on the copepod species...live algae. But for now until I can complete that build I will work with smaller crabitats.
I want to be able to be a trusted source of hermit crabs that very few store have been able to achieve. Most stores are now scams (new livehermitcrabs) or just bring them in and sell them immediately without giving them proper care or allowing them to molt and settle in. I want my store to be different. I have always loved all hermit crabs and when I was a kid I have always wanted to work with all of them. I want to be able to provide that to anyone who loves the exotics but does not know where to go besides rare posts on the adoption forum. This would be a United States based business. Would this type of business be ok to post here? I would only want to post it if that would be accepted. In the future I would also like to try and sponsor other hermit crabs stores and their products if anyone wants to as well. But that will be a work in progress for when I eventually get a website up and running. I would also love to hear all of your thoughts and questions.
Thank you everyone for reading!
