Included in this kit:

  • Pro Rep MINI Terrarium 508x305x254mm
  • Cork Bark Hide
  • Opuwa landscaping wood piece
  • Creaturecare shoreline crab bedding
  • Dried leaf litter

  • ProRep Spray Bottle
  • Corner water pool

 

Our crab set up provides a good starting point for keeping small land crabs such as vampire crabs and apple crabs.

Why we’ve chosen these items:

The Pro Rep MINI Terrarium 508x305x254mm is the perfect size to provide a compact yet spacious home for your crabs, featuring a top-opening ventilated lid. The enclosure provides enough depth for you to provide enough depth for your crabs to burrow. Fill the enclosure to around a third it’s height with  crab bedding, you can slope this downward towards the pool area. Make sure the pool is level when you position it. Plant the plants and moss towards the rear of the enclosure, use the opuwa wood to create structure in your terrascaping. Position the cork bark for the crabs to hide in and add the leaf litter. Finally, fill the pool (use a water conditioner for fish) and you now have an ideal home for your crabs.

You may wish to consider adding a heat mat to one side of the enclosure but this will depend on the temperature of the room you are keeping the crabs in.

Our Next-Day Guaranteed service promises same-day packing and delivery before 1 pm the following day for all orders placed. For standard livestock delivery, we dispatch orders within 1-5 working days, and once dispatched, your order will arrive in less than 24 hours.

We pride ourselves on our attention to detail- it’s a priority that your critters are safe & snugly packed.

When you receive your order, open it up and locate the transport container your pet is inside. Gently ease out your pet into the home you’ve prepared for it.

Ordering pets online can be nerve-wracking, we get it. Our 7-Day live guarantee is our way to ease nerves over the purchasing process.

We’re confident in the quality husbandry, shipping, and packaging of our livestock. On the rare occasion an animal arrives in poor condition, we will provide credit for the cost of that animal. If all animals in the shipment arrive in poor condition, we will also provide credit for the postage.

We try to make it as easy as possible to help any unwell critters, and ensure you can get your money back. There are a couple of steps to go through before a refund can be issued.

If you’ve received an unwell animal in the mail:

1. If it is safe to do so, (your pet is not medically significant or harmful) please remove the animal from its transport container, ideally onto your hand. We ask this as invertebrates, particularly insects, are experts at ‘playing dead’.

2. To provide you with the best advice going forward and to confirm the condition of your pet, we kindly request a short video of the animal in question before your refund can be processed. This can be uploaded on our ‘live guarantee refunds form’, or you can email it straight to us.

3. We typically respond within 24 hours, but please allow 1-3 working days for a response. Once it’s confirmed that you are eligible for a refund, we’ll get process the credit to your account.

We’ll need this information to reach us within 7 days after you’ve received your pet. We cannot provide any live guarantee to animals that have been refused, returned, or not collected.
