How To Keep Your Hermit Crab Alive After Purchase - The P.P.S Method | By Crab Central Station

How do I keep my hermit crab alive? Is my hermit crab sick? Is my hermit crab dying? *Update: The sickness talked about in this video has changed names. It is now called PPDS or Post Purchase Death Syndrome. Same sickness, different name! You may hear us say the new name in upcoming videos, this is what we are talking about!*

**The PPS Method is not guaranteed to prevent all Hermit Crab death, but it can help in most cases.**
