Chicago, IL / Older PP needs new home

[gummiworms]

Hi! I have a ~16 year old female purple pincher I'm looking to rehome. I am in Chicago and can travel up to three hours one-way, possibly more if it's the right home.

I've kept hermit crabs for over 20 years (I got her in 2009), but recently have become disabled. Her companion passed away a few months ago and I cannot physically continue caring for a 75 gallon tank. It is breaking my heart to see her alone.

I never thought I'd have to rehome her, so this is a little emotional for me. But she deserves so much better than what I can give her right now.

I have a lot of supplies, UVB lights, shells, large cholla wood, etc that I am happy to pass along with her. I just want her to thrive and be happy. She is such a sweetheart, she will respond to you when you move your fingers a certain way (wave her antennae and come to the glass). Just a wonderful little crab.

Please let me know if you are interested in adopting her! I'd like to hear about your tank setup, crabs' diet, etc. Thanks!

I’m in southwest Wisconsin but I would be more than happy to meet you as close as I can to come get this gal . I’d also be more than happy to show you my setup for your approval and everything. I honestly don’t know how these forums work but feel free to email me trinitynumbertwo2@gmail.com just include hermit crab in the subject so I can make sure you don’t go to spam lol.

Emailed OP to find out if crab has been adopted so the ad can be deleted.
