I feel like they should have a few more pals, but there are very few people in or near Seattle that have crabs up for adoption... I check the adoption forums here every so often, no luck. :c Craigslist also doesn't have any right now, and there aren't any on the Facebook groups I'm part of. There are also no pet stores near me that take any better care of their animals then Petco/Petsmart. I'm at a loss!
I really don't want to purchase any crabbies online or from Petco/Petsmart. What should I do? I'm so close to just giving in and going to Petco, because I don't want my hermits to be lonely. Are there any other options? Or do you think my hermit crabs will be fine on their own? One is medium and the other is more of a small crabbie. The small one really likes to dig around underground, so my medium crab is mostly by himself during the day. How can I get friends for them? I really don't want to support the hermit industry, because though I would be saving a few crabbies from Petco or Petsmart, they would just take more from the wild. Please help! (Also, how many more hermits could I even fit in my 36 gal? I'm assuming about 3-5 smaller ones...But do I already have enough crabbies in my tank?)
Thank you! here's a cute photo of my medium crab:
