Never support a store that contributes to the abuse of animals. Hermit crabs should not be displayed as a souvenir that lives in a tiny cage and gets improper nutrition. These animals can live up to 30 years with proper care, which is not whats provided here. They crush them out of their natural shells, which some crabs are killed in the process and then put in toxic pained shells. Hermit crabs need 50+ gallon tanks with 5+ inches of sand to burrow properly. They need so much care to live healthy long lives.

The bracelet came in the mail fast and they included an extra. Just a really nice store run by really nice people. Swing on by if you’re in the...
