This Colony of 6 Purple Pinchers is Now Avaliable for Adoption!

They have a combined rehoming fee of $90 ($15 per crab), which helps to covers the cost of shells, substrate, electicity, food, medication, etc. that comes with rehabing and day-to-day care.

When they first arrived at the rescue they where in extremely poor condition. Collectively, they had parasitic mites, shell rot, broken and missing limbs, broken antennules, damaged gills, and more. Since then, we have worked diligently to medicate & treat their injuries and they have improved greatly over the 10 months of intense care they have received. I am confident they are now healthy, and will do well in their forever home 🙂. Because they have already dealt with so much stress, we'd like for them to be adopted all together.
