* It's best to buy a hermit crab with a natural shell rather than a painted one if possible. The paint from hermit crab shells often flakes off over time and can be eaten by the crab. The paint flakes can also find their way inside the shell and can irritate the crab's skin. Some crabs have even had paint flakes puncture their skin. * Before a hermit crab is brought home, all of the necessary hermit crab care items should also be bought if the pet owner doesn't already have them. These include several hermit crab shells of various sizes, a sponge for his water, hermit crab food and a large enough cage to house the crab and all of his supplies. == == anymore questions?? contact me at bubbliciousbridgette@yahoo.com

Is it not good for hermit crabs pinchers to be purple?

No, it's fine. You just must have purple pincher hermit crabs (also called Caribbean crabs). I have 3 hermit crabs, all purple pinchers. Their claws are red with purple in the center and their legs have a purple-ish & red-ish hue. No worries, that's just the type of crabs they are. Purple pincher crabs are the most common to buy in pets stores.


Where do you buy fiddler crabs in pa?

I Have Purchased A Few Fiddler Crabs From Different Stores, But I Noticed The Ones From Pet Smart Lived Longer. If You Live In An Area With A Few Pet Stores, Check All Of Them Before You Buy Them. I Personally Think My Best Were From Pet Smart. Other Than That, You Can Really Buy Good Crabs From Some Pet Stores That Are Known For Their Fish And Reptiles Like Pet Co. But I Highly Recommend Pet Smarts Fiddler Crabs. Hope This Helped!
