2 Live Crabs Ship with Order+Large Hermit Crab Tank 12"x8"x6" Starter Kit with Accessories: Food, Shells, Climbing Toys and More

The starter kit had everything needed to START a "crab-i-tat". If you intend to keep crabs, you will need to buy other stuff and a tank when possible, this is meant to be temporary. Reading past reviews, I was worried my crabs would show up dead or sick or die soon, so I ordered this and also extra crabs from the same buyer. ALL EIGHT CRABS ARRIVED ALIVE. Not sure if they are all still alive because they burrowed under deep sand my Husband had in the huge tank he bought, however one crab has come up and doing very well. Overnight tracks/holes indicate very active, multiple crab movement(we plan to get a night camera). It is NORMAL for crabs to burrow for up to 3weeks, so I'm sure others will pop up soon! Keep in mind that you are buying live pets ONLINE and they are being SHIPPED IN THE MAIL to you. And also that this is a temporary STARTER kit. Like I mentioned above, all EIGHT crabs ordered arrived alive and very active! If any died, it will/would be due to personal negligence/inexperience after arrival. The owner also included extra shells with each crab and one crab had a gorgeous pearl color shell! Very pleased, my Husband loved his gift!!!

thank -you so much I love them they are so lively. I just hope they get along with one another. I now have three in a 29-gallon fish tank and keeping my eye on temp and humidity. I just wished there was ocean salt water, I have well water here and I do have fish and don't need the tap water treatment. The two extra shells could have been bigger these are to small for the crabs I got. I will be using the tank I think for goldfish or some other kind of fish for my granddaughter. Thank-you again

. All 4 crabs wall dead when I received the order and no options to return just the crabs for replacement had to send everything back. Kids were veryupset

I was thoroughly surprised to see all of the contents on this, hermit crabs specifically, arrive healthy and well! We couldn’t find hermit crabs anywhere for our 10 year old after a season end beach visit and this did not disappoint. Its been a week and crabs are still alive, fairly friendly, and they seem happy eating the food provided. Nice size crabs, extra shells and everything you need to set up the habitat. Aquarium tank is a little small so I don’t recommend anymore than the two crabs that come included, but all in all, very good kit.

Crabs came alive and well. Everything came as directed and the instructions are easy to follow. Great classroom pets!

We just received our hermit crab kit today( about an hour ago from time if this post). The hermit crabs are alive and healthy. One is missing part if his leg but it will grow back when he molts. The grow shells are too small. I know that the tank they send is not anywhere near adequate for one hermit crab, let alone two. I honestly bought this kit as I wanted two more hermit crabs and I wanted a container I could temporarily put them in when I do the 3 month hermit crab deep clean. Instead of just any bowel I can find. I wanted something that would be just for the hermit crabs while I clean their tanks. The tank is missing its handles but it does not affect anything. It is still usable. It is a good little tank to use while quarantining or cleaning your hermit crab tanks. I like the food they sent and the shell tree thing they made as it gives my hermits more to climb on along with the piece of wood. I will be buying another kit from this company again. They did give good information on hermits. The only thing wrong was that they said you could have three hermit crabs in this kit. All in all I and my son are very pleased.

I will never buy hermit crabs like this again! They came shipped in shredded paper with a sponge which would be fine but the one sponge was dry that crab was lethargic and basically not responsive until it died less than a week! I looked up every thing I could on how to bring it out of it's shell. My daughter had the same problem hers only lasted a day i felt bad because i talked her into buying it.On the other hand the one that was packed in looser paper with the wet sponge is thriving and switched shells 2x and I'd eating a lot! The habitat and food are of quality I would buy supplies just not the crabs

Update.. I was worried about how long it would take the hermit crabs to arrive but they were here 2 days after i ordered. They both arrived very healthy and as described!! I do agree this habitat is not the best housing for your new hermit crabs. You can hopefully improve the housing in the near future. I have read some of the reviews about crabs arriving dead or very unhealthy. I believe this is all due to them being shipped in some cases very long distances. Hermit crabs have gills and if the gills are allowed to dry out the crab will suffocate slowly. I would suggest you submerge your crabs for a quick dunk in non chlorinated water upon arrival. Then offer food and water.. I hope this helps to save your new crabs!!
