Yes, we have had hermit crabs for over 2 years. We currently have 60.

I've not had one, but I've heard from owners that they're curious creatures. They're not the most exciting as pets go, but they're fun to watch shed as they change shells and they're pretty easy to clean up after. Many people I know use a 10 gallon tank and have a small part of the tank sectioned off with guppies in it. They made their tank look more like a miniature exhibit at a zoo :-)

The only ones I ever had were ones I caught myself and they didn't last very long. Let me just say, dead hermit crabs smell really, really, really bad.

I did have several of them. They are kinda smelly. Their cage gets a musty odor because they like to be misted with water. They pinch when handled and the large ones really hurt. But if you just want something interesting to look at with minimal care they're OK. They just aren't much of a pet to handle and interact with.

Yes I did. Herman lived one year. He was pretty cool. He changed shells about 4 times.

I have 6! I got them thinking they where easy pets, until I read about proper care and stuff! They are doing fine, switching shells, eating, molting and climbing. Plus my kids love them!!

At the pet store, they sell them with deorative shells and little houses now. They have little race tracks, and a hammock.( I doubt they'd use such things)

Yes, I currently have 3 hermies. They are fun to watch(if you can stay up late enough), but they take alot of care. Mine haven't pinched me yet, and I hope they won't for awhile
