Petsmart The don't take very good care of their hermit crabs! I bought 2 hermits crabs each at different times and I get home and they are already dead! Towson Maryland

 I have hermit crabs I bought from ocean city maryland. One time a few months ago I was buy a ball for my Briards and I always go to the hermit crab take to look. There were two hermit crabs that were in broken shells and you can tell they were squeezed in there pretty . The shells are way too small so I told an employee there are not enough shells in their and these hermit crabs were very dirty. Yes hermit crabs are in sand but hermit crabs are pretty clean. The sponge in the tank they drink from is very dirty. So I say to the employee I want those two hermit crabs. She picks them up and puts them in a container. I get home 10 mins later and take them out to clean them and they are both dead!. This petsmart made me sign a paper about their well being. They sold me two dead hermit crabs! I buried then because they are five bucks and they deserve to be in nature not shoved in a dirty tank. So today is June 2 and I was at the same store at Petsmart in Towson Maryland. I saw this hermit crab in a very tiny shell. Again no shells for them to switch in to. I tell the employee I want that crab. It's abuse making him live in a tiny shell. I get him home and clean him. His shell is so old and small it is cracking. Again the crab is dead! This is animal abuse and should be taking better care of them.
