Where to get more Es?

[Clockwerk]

Hello, I just adopted some Hermit crabs from a garage sale down here in Houston, Tx and I noticed that one of their crabs was a E while the rest were PP's. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get more E's so that this guys isn't so lonely. Thanks!

I realize not all of the stores carry them, but my local Petco has Es!

I've been to 5 Petco locations and 3 Petsmart locations and all they have are PP's I'm not sure if any local mom & pop petstores have hermies though.... usually its just fish or certain reptiles and birds.

Keep an eye out in the adoption section and you could also make a post in your location's thread saying you're looking to adopt an E buddy. I never see Es in the Petcos and Petsmarts around here either. Your best bet may be another adoption.

Thanks! I'll try to keep a eye out I just hope the guy doesn't get depressed.

Most of the pet supermarkets I've been to have nothing but e's.

My E does well with my PPs. He will hopefully adjust.

It's always best to give them a species buddy, assuming you have enough space.

You guys are lucky then if you can find them, seems like we have nothing but PP's here. My E just surfaced today from his hide and is busy exploring the tank. He doesn't seem to go near the other PP's in the tank. I just adopted a E through someone on the forum and they'll be shipped out this Monday and should arrive on Tuesday. Is it also bad to say that I prefer how active the E's are compared to the PP's? .

I too love the E's personality! I have 4 and they were great. Well, until the big one kills a molter. But that seems to have calmed down. They love being hand fed too.

I'll try the hand feeding eventually this guy just finished distressing so I'll let him adjust a bit more.
