I ask this questionb on September 5, 2016. Are any of your crabs still alive? If no, approximately how long did you have them?

I did not buy my crabs here and honestly I would never buy them online! Stress is the number one killer for hermits and the shipping process is VERY stressful with causes death very quickly but the reason for my answer to this question is that if you do all your research and provide everything they need they can live up to 20 years! I have had mine for going on 9 years! Please do your research before buying! They have very specific needs!
