i have a little herd of hermies myself. if you know about hermit crabs you know they need humidity or their gills dry out and they suffocate. you know they need fresh and salt water, they need places to climb and they need friends. they are very social. of course its Walmart who wants to sell them alone in a cup like their poor beta fish. tell them no! click on the link to sign the petition please. its put out by the Hermit Crab Association:

Signed. I had hermit crabs when I was little and I still had no idea about half of what you posted. I always bought 'em a buddy, but about the water and humidity? No clue. No one really does anything to make the consumer aware of an animal's needs. :\\ It really creates a negative image/impression of the animal: just a product. I'll cut my rant short and just thank you for posting that for us.
