Found a good petstore

Post by Purple pinchers »

I live about 2 hours away from a petco. That petco is were i got my hermit crabs from. Well when i went to that petco i notest that there always was a worker feeding, changing water, or cleaning the tanks. So i went to the hermit crab section and saw 3 5-6 gal tanks with about 4inches of eco dirt :) so they can molt if they want to. They even had some fresh vegies, salt water, and water. Even had the right amount of humidity and heat. In each tank there were only 2 hermit crabs in each so they were not crowded :D . There were a few bad things :( like they did have 2 painted hermit crabs but this is the first time i have seen them there. There cairsheet is a little bad like it tells the basics humidity, temp, dirt depth, and salt water. The people were nice they could tell me quite a lot of information that was right.

So over all that was a great pet store for all pets i saw and i would buy all my stuff from there if i did not live so far away :( :D :D

That is pretty amazing compared to most of the pet stores I've heard about. :) The best one around here for me is about the same as yours only they have two tanks many painted shells, sponges and reg. crab food :S

I could'nt relate. I live hours away from any good pet store. I got mine from the mall where I impulse-bought. But the mall is horrible. I saw over 10 dead ones just laying there.
