Hermit Crabs deserve to live in their natural crabitat, not in over packed cages. In all novelty stores along the Wildwood, New Jersey boardwalk, most sell hermit crabs. Hermit crabs that are sold on the boardwalk are kept in inhumane cages. They are piled on top of eachother, have little water to hydrate the 60+ crabs in said enclosures, and when the crabs are sold, they aren’t given the right size cages, food, climbing accessories, or bedding. They are NOT starter pets for your child to have as a souvenir of your vacation.
