If you intend to keep crabs, you will need to buy other stuff and a tank when possible, this is meant to be temporary. Reading past reviews, I was worried my crabs would show up dead or sick or die soon, so I ordered this and also extra crabs from the same buyer. ALL EIGHT CRABS ARRIVED ALIVE. Not sure if they are all still alive because they burrowed under deep sand my Husband had in the huge tank he bought, however one crab has come up and doing very well. Overnight tracks/holes indicate very active, multiple crab movement(we plan to get a night camera). It is NORMAL for crabs to burrow for up to 3weeks, so I'm sure others will pop up soon! Keep in mind that you are buying live pets ONLINE and they are being SHIPPED IN THE MAIL to you. And also that this is a temporary STARTER kit. Like I mentioned above, all EIGHT crabs ordered arrived alive and very active! If any died, it will/would be due to personal negligence/inexperience after arrival. The owner also included extra shells with each crab and one crab had a gorgeous pearl color shell! Very pleased, my Husband loved his gift!!! Review: Hermit Crab kit with live crabs - thank -you so much I love them they are so lively. I just hope they get along with one another. I now have three in a 29-gallon fish tank and keeping my eye on temp and humidity. I just wished there was ocean salt water, I have well water here and I do have fish and don't need the tap water treatment. The two extra shells could have been bigger these are to small for the crabs I got. I will be using the tank I think for goldfish or some other kind of fish for my granddaughter.

I just hope they get along with one another. I now have three in a 29-gallon fish tank and keeping my eye on temp and humidity. I just wished there was ocean salt water, I have well water here and I do have fish and don't need the tap water treatment.

Thank-you again ### ⭐ Wow... just wow. *by M***T on April 10, 2021* This entire setup was a complete joke. For starters, it took a FULL WEEK to arrive. Sure enough, BOTH crabs were dead. In addition to receiving my dead crabs, their conditions were poor. One crab was missing a leg, the other crab had a big chip in his shell. The plastic enclosure is pretty small, it didn't include half the supplies necessary for a healthy environment. While the food shell dish looked fancy, it's sloped on a weird angle making it awkward to hold food and especially water. Nowhere near enough coconut fiber was provided, and overall the only thing that seems to be worth keeping were the molting shells. I'm more sad about the conditions of these poor crabs. It makes me wonder how many have died or arrived injured to other customers. Definitely a mistake. Will not be buying again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Live Hermit Crab Complete Starter Kit - Includes 2 Live Crabs - All-in-One Kit with Terrarium, Food, Coconut Fiber, and More - Bundle - Fluker's Buffet Blend Diet - Food for Hermit Crabs 2.4 oz - Fluker's All Natural Premium Hermit Crab Sand Substrate, Sand Mixture with Coconut Fiber, For Hermit Crab Tanks, 6 lbs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/78102630-2-live-hermit-crabs-ship-with-order-starter-kit-tank](https://www.desertcart.is/products/78102630-2-live-hermit-crabs-ship-with-order-starter-kit-tank) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
