Happy crab
Nice starter kit but you’ll need a little more.

Great buy! Perfect for a beginner hermit crab enclosure
This was perfect! I got two hermit crabs recently and started adding individual item i needed to my cart (play sand, coconut substrate, water dish, sea sponge, water conditioner and aquarium salt, food) And it was over 3 times this much money! This was such a good deal and it was perfect for my tank and hermies. I wish the shell it came with was a little smaller but that’s okay, I mainly got it for the substrate, sand, and water mixtures 🙂

Tank not included
I didn’t read the description very well. The tank is not included. I just assumed it was.

Not the pictured or described kit
The kit pictured/described is not what you get. I saw the kit I actually received instead of the one I ordered on other listings for half what I paid. I was happy to pay more because I thought I was getting the perfect kit For our needs. Unfortunately it was not as described or pictured. Very disappointed 10 year old. The kit listed is $30, the one I received was listed from several sellers for $15. Not sure if this is a switch and done on purpose, but buyer beware.**THIS IS WHAT I PAID EXTRA FOR AND THOUGHT I WAS GETTING****THIS IS THE SELLERS EXACT product description: from their listing:”Kit Includes: Yellow Hermit Crab Sand all natural calcium carbonate substrate provides a source of calcium necessary for the health of all hermit crabs. Natural pigment. No paint or dyes used in processing. Reptile Rock Reptile Water Dish realistic rock water bowl adds a more natural look to your terrarium while providing safety and quality too.

Hermit Crab Soil compressed/expandable coconut fiber substrate for all hermit crab enclosures. Increases humidity and allows for natural burrowing.

Excelente, no soy veterinario ni experto pero dada la situación que mi hijo encontró un cangrejo y en editaba un hábitat, pedimos este kit más una pecera bastante grande de plástico el cangrejo tiene un espacio muy bueno para caminar escalar y comer, el tema del agua fresca y salada y los mini paquetitos que te envÃan te cierran a tener que pedir estos productos tos pero creo que si haces algo de investigación el agua lo puedes superar con elementos que uno consigue al dÃa dÃa y la comida rinde bastante. Muy recomendable dada mia circunstancias

omettre la survie des hermit crab comme par exemple le sable de calcium qui in fois mouillé durcit comme du ciment. Le thermomètre est de la camelote, le conditioner dâeau est dangereux. Bref, gardez votre argent et faites vos recherches pour avoir des produits plus sains
