on 5/22/2009 Attention: anyone out there looking to keep a pet hermit crab, please do not listen to what this person says! I would Suggest referring to hermitcrabassociation.com or hermit-crabs.com Although some information this video provides is true, most is not. Crabs are not a "disposable pet" and should be treated with respect.
