@janieleigh11: I can’t speak for every single beach shop, but this is unfortunately the common trend it seems. Perhaps the shops tjat release them think they are “helping” them, however they are just sending them out to suffer and die. We need to spread awareness. Adopt hermies from organizations like the ones I have linked in my bio, opposed to buying from the industry, they will just be replaced 💔 #hermitcrabs #hermitcrab #animals
i would love to see a hermit crab sanctuary, that is definitely something i would spend money on to help support.

It’s my dream to be able to go to a boardwalk on closing day and save all the hermies.

It’s so awful, they’re sold at beaches here in Maine too and temps are down to even -20 F sometimes in winter with wind chill :(

I always try and buy my hermit crabs from pets mart or beach shops instead of places that take care of them since it’s easy

Where I work sells them 😞 but we don’t throw them out. I actually have like 30 at home right now because our store doesnt have heat. It’s temporary. My coworker also took what she could.

I just found a fish tank on the side of the road. When we got it home we found a hermit crab. The people were going to throw him and his home right out. So now we are making hermando a new wonderfu
