Ecuadorian Crabs at Petsmart?

Post by friesb4uxbabe » Tue Apr 26, 2016 1:44 pm

Hello there, I hope i'll get some response to this question. I was wondering if anyone in California near palmdale knows if petsmart or Petco ever carry Ecuadorian hermit crabs? I occasionally just go to Petsmart due to the fact that that's just where I always go lol. But yeah if anyone knows if they carry them at all or if its a seasonal thing, please let me know! Currently all I have are purple pinchers and would really love to adopt some Ecuadorians without the trouble of having to pay for shipping. Thanks! :crabblush:

I don't live in California but I've only seen PPs at petsmart. Some people have had luck finding Ecuadorians at petco though. Good luck finding them :)
Crabbing since July 2013!
4 PPs - Chloe, Tani, Kono, McGarrett

I'm in Arizona and have never seen anything other than PPs at PetSmart. Petco, on the other hand, occasionally gets a few Ecuadorians in with shipments of PPs but the staff don't seem to realize that they are a different species!
PPs are Big Enzo, Charles Paris and Mr Pinch
On the Big Beach in the Sky: Murray, Gino, Oscar, Gordon, Ignatz, Harry and King Felix the Pale
Also Mom to Imogene the Syrian Hamster

I see E's at Petco's in Texas all the time. Sometimes it's all they have. PetSmart has always had only PP's. One exotic store here regularly carries strawberries and I guess violas (but they call the blueberries).

Every Petco in Austin, Texas has had E's at one time or another. The store with exotic crabs is called Exotic Zookeeper.
