My name is Linda, my son, who is 4, and I decided to get a couple hermit crabs July of 2020. We love both of our crabbies. We are ready to expand our crab family!
We order food from shops found here HCA, and esty. Plus a wide variety of fresh fruits and veggies and I also always have a chia garden for them.(they seem to love it)
If you are looking for a forever home for your claw baby, we would be more than pleased and happy to give them the love and care they deserve!!!

JOHNSON CITY, TN

Hi! Looking for 2 hermit crabs: I have 2 hermits crabs (sm & sm/med, Purple Pinchers maybe, we purchased about a month ago, and who are now in a 40 gallon in 6" sand/Eco Earth mixed substrate, & have sev caves, a tunnel, a bridge, rope, & coco mat back wall. Temps & humidity stay about in approved range (humidity jumps up lately).
** Since moving them from a tiny, temp, tank, I'd like 2 more (pref 2 Ruggies, but if not, 2 more Purple Pinchers...or MAYBE 2 Ecuadorians).
** Travel: I may or may not be able to travel up to an 1 HR away (depends). ** Mail: However, if you package them really well so they stay moist & weather isn't too cold, & mail them overnight, I would pay for shipping. Let me know. Thanks!

UPDATE: I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO TAKE DOWN THIS POST, BUT I WON'T BE ADOPTING MORE HERMIT CRABS UNTIL I CAN IMPROVE MY SETUP.

Hi, my name is Ruth, and I've been crabbing for several years. I'd be willing to take a little PP guy to add to my 2 PPs. One is a medium, and the other is a jumbo. I would prefer a small crab, as I have plenty of small shells already. I'm willing to travel up to an hour.

I currently have a 20 gallon long breeder tank with 7 inches of coconut fiber and sand mixed, and multiple pear branches in the crabitat to climb on, and an ultratherm heater + 2 zoomed heaters. The heat stays around 76-81 F and the humidity is currently a bit high due to having just replaced the substrate. Recently I've been making plans for a larger tank, as I'm moving to a place that has more room.

I would prefer to be contacted through private message. Thank you!

God bless!
