What to ask for my birthday (crab stuff)

Post by HappyHermit0916 » Tue Apr 13, 2021 8:02 pm

Hey! My birthday is coming up and I want to ask for hermit crab related stuff and was wondering if anyone had products that they love and could recommend! Thanks!

A hammock, disk saucer wheel, plastic canvas, Lowe’s/Home Depot gift card, shells from Etsy, food from Etsy...that’s the kind of stuff I’d ask for (unless you have any of those things already). Hope that’s helpful :)

I’m also in NC! Mine absolutely love their wheel...not the saucer kind though. I added mesh to a hamster wheel after seeing lots of people here do it and there is always a crab or two playing on it. It’s my favorite thing to watch them do!

I know this is big, but a food dehydrator is really helpful and lets me save lots of money since I don’t have to go buy dried food whenever I am going away. I also just really love to make them my own dried food mixes.

I also ask for extra kritter keepers, never know when one of those is gonna come in handy. And there's no risk of them getting the wrong product and it being harmful like if you asked for shells or food.

You can never go wrong with asking for a bigger crabitat! Even signing up up for a monthly food subscription. I think MT Pet Emporium do them, a few other shops I think do them too!

I also know of an Etsy shop where you can get some decor too! ;)

Mine love the repti fogger. It keeps the tank moist and humid and they love to play in the fog!
