    Uncle Milton is bad!
    I do not keep hermit crabs, but I know their care requirements and that this is cruel. I am highly dissapointed with uncle milton for the killing of so many animals. All their animal keeping kits do not have what the animal needs.

    Hermit crab home
    My crabs love the rock hideaway,and the little pool. They like to dig in the sand. To keep the humidity in I always Get a wet rag and put it on top if the cove. Always yous spring water to fill up the pool. Change the water every day.Put fresh food in every day, and you`ll have happy crabs.

    Not a Suitable Crabitat
    A little research goes a long way. First and foremost, you will need an appropriate sized home, with temperature and humidity guages, a heat source, dishes for dechlorinated and salt water, a food dish, structures for climbing and hiding, and enough substrate for your crabs to bury themselves for molting. They are great pets but not as simple to care for as you may have been led to believe. As you should do before getting any pet,spend some time reading up on their proper care. It’s well worth the effort - I’m fairly new to hermit crab keeping (about a year now) but I find them to be thoroughly enjoyable.

    Pet torture chamber
    This isn’t a hermit crab habitat. It is an abusive, hermit crab torture chamber. Without proper humidity control the crab’s gills (no lungs) dry out and the crab has difficulty breathing. These animals can live over 30 years, but a crab is unlikely to last even 6 months in this home.

    In order to grow, a hermit crab burrows into the ground, makes a little cave, sheds its exoskeleton, regains its strength, and returns to the surface. Why get a pet if you don’t care enough about it to provide its basic needs?

    Hermit crabs are not toys! THis is cruel!!! -100 stars
    We have researched and studied land hermit crabs biology, natural history and care and keeping for over 16 years and I can tell you this is NOT something that a responsible pet owner would even think of getting. There is no way to keep the humidity or temperature withing the proper ranges! 75%-85% relative humidity and 76-82 degrees F and also there is NOT enough space for even one crab in there they need at least 2 gallons of tank space per crab! Plus they are also known as tree crabs this provided no climbing are for them.

    The very smallest accpetable space for 1-5 land hermit crabs is a 10 Gallon glass tank with lid and lights! They need 4inches of play sand or moist coco-fiber in which to dig and burry, they must have the temp and humdity within range or they will die! They do not ahve lungs but modified gills!

    PLease PLease Do what is right and just and do not purchase this gimmick!!!
