Rescuing HERMIT CRABS From ABUSIVE BEACH MARKET!! (SAD)

In this video I rescue HERMIT CRABS from a very abusive, neglectful, and endangering BEACH MARKET! Hermit crabs have many requirements and the way these stores sell them is mind blowing. They sell them from wire cages with no water or food, no substrate, no humidity, and pretty much nothing. Going to a beach you may have seen these being sold at different souviner shops, and maybe even purchased a few. The truth is, thousands are dying a year from this abuse cycle. It starts with the people who catch them in the wild (which is where 95% of them come from), breaking their shells, forcing them into these painted shells, and selling them at these stores providing no information and a cage where the hermit crab will suffocate and die within a few months. It is absolutely disgusting to watch this happen. The ones I rescued are very lucky, but the rest unfortunately will end up in a tiny cage living a terrible and painful short life. Please do not buy these hermit crabs and support these actions! I bought these guys because I honestly couldn't just do nothing. I also want to start a petition or something to stop this from happening but that will take a little time. Thank you everyone for your support!!

*PLEASE READ* For all who think that me buying them is me “supporting” or me “giving them money to buy more” that is NOT how businesses work. I’m sure that’s what other people have said and that’s why you believe it because you would think that’s how it works but please understand that if I buy 3 it is not going to literally make them buy 3 OR MORE to replace what I bought. They sell hundreds, and thousands of these a year. Someone else would have bought these exact same ones. It will take more than me, more than 10 people NOT BUYING them to actually make a difference. It will take petitions, and a lot of boycotting of buying hermit crabs for this to stop. The main market of these animals is kids and their parents, if a lot of that demographic stops buying then that’s when we see change.
I gave THESE 3 hermit crabs a better life and a longer one, I rescued them from this and what would’ve been a terrible home in a cage how they sell them. The amount of money I spent on hermit crabs at this store is probably .02% of hermit crab sales they do. Which again is not me supporting, not me giving them money to buy more, and certainly not me helping them.
Thank you for your time!

A friend had gotten a hermit crab, it escaped, and was found living in the house plant a year later. We have no idea how he was still alive, but he was a happy little dude.

Wow, you are doing a great thing! Those stores are horrible. My son (then about 7 years old) wanted one when we were at the beach. At first, I said no because I didn't want that awful store to profit. I explained to my son. Then he said, "well, we could still save a couple of them." We went home with 3 and built a crabitat that was fairly luxurious. And that's how I fell in love with hermit crabs.
Also, I do not advocate breaking the law, BUT.. I heard about a friend of a friend who may have gone into one of those stores and a few hermit crabs MAY have fallen into his (loose) pockets and were taken to a good home with a fine crabitat.

My grandma got 3 hermit crabs from a beach store. The last one died recently. They would always sit on the bathtub wall when I took a bath. My grandma got a HUGe cage for them. I miss those amazing crabs.


Edit: OMG THANKS FOR 50 LIKES

I was on vacation and I bought some hermit crabs on vacation and they gave me a half an inch of gravel, so I immediately went to the beach I was staying at, collected two whole buckets of sand cleaned it thoroughly and spread it out, than I arrived home from vacation I immediately bought a ten gallon tank for three small crabs and a bunch of climbing toys and they are living an amazing life, One of them actually had paint on their shell so I got them a new shell and they immediately change into the natural shell so I pretty much saved it so yeah And the lady working at the store gave me false information she said they only need one bowl of water which is freshwater so I didn’t say much after that because I didn’t want her to get mad and I immediately bought new rock bowls I put a bowl of salt water and freshwater So yeah They are completely healthy now.

You probably know this but by buying them you support the continuation of the abuse and by providing demand the people at the cause of the problem will continue to supply.

I won’t lie, I impulse bought my first hermit crab while entering a surf shop when I was on vacation. The shop gave me about the same kit and directions that they gave you.
Thank god I ended up going down a huge rabbit hole of informative hermit crab care.
Now 6 years later and they have friends and are spoiled as can be in their 30 gallon terrarium full of crazy hiding and climbing places, plastic shower caddies full of sponges, moss, and shells, as well as two one gallon tubs (one salt the other fresh) for soaking, a waterfall, and so much more

(I like crocheting nets for them out of hemp rope haha)

Those conditions are so so depressing. Thank you for advocating for the innocent crabs. Everyone please spread awareness.

It makes me so happy to know that there are people like you who care about Hermit crabs! Hermit crabs are super interesting and make great pets if you know how to properly take care of them! I have 2 hermit crabs named Arnold and Clementine 🦀 it felt great to be able to save their precious little lives. The guy that sold Arnold to me at the beach gift shop noticed that I had saltwater for him and literally told me that it was gonna kill him because they don’t need saltwater!! I literally could NOT believe he told me that. I’ve had Arnold for almost 3 months and Clementine for 2 weeks and they are healthy and super active! It makes me sick to even think about how many people he probably told that too.

Hermit Crabs are at my fair they have them as prizes. They are painted too. In the first clip of the giant cage with 3 layers is exactly what they have. My brother won one and then the hermit crab died a few days later due to toxics. (Most likely from the paint) They also have goldfish as prizes, And at one of the games, There was a fucking lizard in a very small cage. The lizard was probably 10" long. I was just disgusted. My brothers and i wanted to win them all but my parents didnt have anywhere to put them. Wish we could've saved them all.


Also thank you for saving some hermit crabs.🙏
