I would only recommend this product if you travel from the pet store or to the vet's office Now this is not a great starter home for hermit crabs, Hermit crabs at least need 10 gallons, If Lee's at least made this tank bigger and without gravel then I would be willing to add more stars for this product Also Hermit Crabs need humidity and heat, Don't think this plastic carrier will hold heat. It won't Overall two stars because this so called starter kit can be used as a travel cage when you first purchase your hermit crabs or at least for vet visits

I think this product is great! I love all the things it comes with! The only problem I had was that the hermet crab food sample was not there!

I own 8 Coenobita Clypeatus common name purple pincher hermit crabs, and I am an expert. And I tell you, this is the WORST care ever! 1 crab needs at LEAST a 10 gal tank. No painted shells, salt and fresh water DEEP tubs with air pumps, quickrite playsand and Eco earth 5:1 ratio. Humidity and heat IS required. Plus NO painted shells. This is the proper care:

This is way to small and dosent keep heat and/or humidity in. for every 2 hermit crabs you have you need a 10 gallon tank.

My daughter purchased this "home" for two hermit crabs she purchased at the same time for our grandson. It is entirely too small to even lay out what comes with it, let alone allow the hermit crabs any walking around room. I went back to the store and bought a 10 gallon aquarium and now the crabs are as happy as...well, crabs. 

I have two medium sized hermit crabs who love their habitat! I could easily fit the food saltwater freshwater extra shells and climbing vine that they needed with room to spare! If you have found that you can't fit everything it may mean that you have too many things! A hermit crab is not like a human it doesn't need to be spoiled. I think this is a great way to save money and a great easy to use habitat!

it is outstanding. perfect for starters and has alot of good stuff for starters

this tank would be good for a molting crab and since a molting crab does not move there would be enough space this would be a horrible habitat
