Most Successful Crabs??

Post by Emm33333 » Thu Jan 05, 2017 5:48 am

Where (more rather what pet store) have you guys bought your most successful crabs (live/d the longest and were friendly)? My crabs are from Petsmart and Petland (don't worry it was a petland that had them in a proper tank) and they are really shy. I'd love to hear what you guys have to say

I've had my crab Dusty since August 11th of 2015. That's 1 year, 4 months, and 25 days. He is my very first crab, and was "won" at a stand at the Ohio State Fair. He was shortly followed by Edd and Momo, who I adopted from people who weren't taking proper care of them and couldn't due to a busy schedule and are still with me. Enoch was rescued from a pet store with improper conditions on October 1st of last year, and is still kicking too. All of my crabs seem to be successful and I'm very thankful for that. I'm getting new additions soon too.

My parents bought the first two in NC and they are alive well and getting big. The next three came from power supplies plus, one died due to being attacked, other two well and alive both molted. The other two from petco, thriving molted and awesome. Pet supplies plus always had tiny babies, petco had medium to large
