HCA: Hermit Crab Association

this is Miso he was rescued from pet supplies my closest local pet store, who either have no idea how to take care of their hermit crabs or just don't care. every time I go In pet supplies plus and peek into the hermit crab tank it has less than an inch of extremely dry walnut desert bedding, a dried up water dish, and very hot light practically baking them. one day I made a quick stop to collect my usual hermit crab supplies and noticed a dead dry looking hermit crab in their tank.thinking out loud I mumbled something about the poor care of the crabs to my boyfriend while a worker was standing next to me when I got to the counter she rang me up and marked every single one of the seventeen one dollar bills with a counterfeit checking marker as if they were fake mind you I worked at a place were we checked the money before it entered the drawer and we never ever had to check one dollar bills. wish I had more room to adopt their poorly treated crabs, is there any polite way I can help change the way their crabs are being cared for?

Have you read this thread in Activism? viewtopic.php?t=95169

There's some tips on what to expect from pet stores, talking to management, or writing letters. If you find yourself a bit too angry to speak to anyone in person, emailing the company can be the way to go. Remember, you'll get more results if you stay calm and polite. Good luck!

hope I cand help change things thanks for the advice and thread
