HCA: Hermit Crab Association

So I went down to manhattan with my boyfriend and we ended up stopping in Petco by Union Square.
I went to look at the hermit crab and low and behold they had ecuadorians! And tons of them. I couldn't believe it. I just wanted to buy them all >.< I love ecuadorians and would like to own many in the near future to accompany my ever so lovely PPs. So if anyone lives in the New York area and would like To buy ecuadorians now is your time :3


(I took pictures of this little guy only cause he was the most adventurous and very hyper.)

3 crabs; Bert, Ernie&Junior (All PP's)
1 puppy; Roy (whom I share with the beloved)

How cute!! I love Ecuadorians, I just wish I had better luck with them
I see so many people who are so shocked and excited to find Ecuadorians, where I live, all I can ever find is Ecuadorians!!

I never even thought I could find ecuadorians here. You're lucky! I seen all those little guys and I freaked out. I never seen them in person and they are even cuter then in pictures!

Yes they are. All the Petcos near me have them, and they are super active.

I was JUST in manhattan for my moms birthday and I had the thought that I might be able to find some E's but I never came across that Petco
I can't find anything but PPs in Maryland. The 2 E's that I do have came from an adoption. I want at least 1 more to complete that group.

I live in Long Island and I want them so much

Cool find! There's tons of E's over here where I get my crabs.

They are too cute! I love the really little ones. Unfortunately my bf and I don't have very good luck with them.
