1U shop did not close down. If you take your time to refer the first post in this thread, you will know the location of the new shop.

Anyway, i am sorry to say all major listed shops no longer sells hermit crabs. The life in captivity is really short. In the wild, 30 yrs, in captivity, 1~3 years. Mine survived for 1.5 years and 2 years.

Formerly, 1U shop is famous for mini hermit and medium ones until they died too fast during sales. So they have stock on medium large ones, same thing, died even the moist and temperature suits them. The last batch of crabs just died a week i bought from them and i did told them that their time is about time, some of the crabs have bubble at its modified gill.

Mid Valley's Carrefour one is through an agent who specialized in small pets. Same thing happen to the crabs, 20 of them died almost in the same month. I went to Mid Valley today and saw only empty shells and i was told about it.
So, i may lock this thread if there is no new hermit crab selling spot and activity for the next 6 months.

Did you gave them saltwater? They need to stable their salinity.

I tried but they do not have stock. Not even the exoterra feeding dish and water dish. PLC in Jusco, Kepong do not have stock as well.
