Does anybody know anyone who has had or has hermit crabs as a pet? I saw them at Petland and they looked kinda funny. Supposedly all they need is one small piece of cat food a week to survive off of. They get pretty gross looking after a few years... but oh well.

they dont get gross i have had so many hermits you can buy hermit food i havnt heard bout feeding them cat food and they shed there skin and the skin looks just like their body some people have picked up there hermits and there skin they shedded fell out and they cant see the crab cuzz its way back in its shell and they threw it away so make sure its dead and not skin and dont bother them while they shed or it could kill them its hard for them to shed and sometimes they lose legs arms eyes feelers when they shed and when they died they smell like rotten fish but i like them i think there good pets

AND you have to get bigger shells for them to change into and never try to pull them out of a shell and you should give them spring water faucet water aint good for them

That's pretty much everything the chick said at Petland but she told me just to give it one piece of cat food a week and it will live off of that. lol It don't matter, i never got one.

the petshops in my town went nuts with the whole hermit crab thing, there are shells you can buy with stuff painted on it, like cartoon characters

I gave up the idea of hermit crabs a long time ago. I saw them in the mall. They were almost selling them for a buck a pound. lol I think they're the type of 'pet' you would rather see in some one elses home.
