hermit crabHermit crabs are notoriously fragile pets to keep. They can live for 30 years in captivity. They die from stress and unsuitable habitats very easily so its not uncommon to have your new pet die overnight from the stress of being in the petshop and the journey. They should not really be kept as pets at all and sadly many animal lovers end up rescuing them from cruel pet stores like stacy does.

Sign the petition: Say NO to Crabinacup sold at Walmart stores

“Crabinacup has started appearing in Walmarts across the USA. Land Hermit Crabs (as well as frogs, bettas) are sold in a cup in Walmart stores. Please sign our petition and show Walmart that we do NOT want crabinacup (or any animal in a cup) and that this type of animal cruelty will not be condoned. Land Hermit Crabs (and other animals) deserved to be treated with dignity and respect, not as a fast food type merchandise – a pet to go. Land Hermit Crabs deserve to be kept in a glass tank with a lid, an under tank heater to meet the temperature and humidity needs, enough space to walk and climb, places to hide and de-stress, and a fitting place to live until sold. Selling a crab in a cup with a layer of gravel and water is NOT appropriate and stores that sell land hermit crabs this way are guilty of animal cruelty.

Say NO to crabinacup and spread the word about this appaling marketing ploy.”
