HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I'm thinking of getting one more crab.. a small or medium one. I was wondering if anyone who has been to PetCo some time within the last week could tell me what kind of species they have around this time?

Thanks.

I was there a few weeks ago, but they barely had any crabs there.

What species were the ones that were there?

the ones around me have pps and straws......but the petsmart near me has rugs, e's, and pps

The Petco in Bethel Park has PPs, Straws, and Ruggies. West Mifflin's Petco- bad store - has PPs, Straws, occasionally a ruggie or E. I think the last one that I got there was an Indo. He has an insanely huge BP. That's what they generally carry around me. Hope that helps.

Ive mostly seen pps at the ones here...a few straws. Last time I went to the one up the street there werent any. Sadly, Im hoping for them to get some ruggies and to find a cavipe....Ill have to wait for a bit warmer weather to get those there I think....they dont show up here until Julyish.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to PetCo this morning, wish me luck!

I hope all is well. and with the crabs too. did you get what you wanted?

They just had Purple pinchers and one straw.. I was thinking of getting the straw but I did not... I got a small Purple Pincher.
