Breed??

Post by CrabsterBecks » Thu Mar 29, 2018 2:22 pm

I got my hermit crabs from Petco. They weren't in horrible condition, (they had humidity gauges, salt water, fresh de-chlorinated water, hiding spots, eco earth, but not deep enough), but definitely not the best (mostly packaged food and a single blueberry for four crabs, very small container). I have no idea what type of crabs I have! (although I am assuming they are purple pinchers. The crabs in the below video are exactly what mine look like. Any thoughts?

EDIT: GOTBUTTERFLIES removed the link - this link does not follow HCA guidelines on proper hermit crab care.
