Cancer warning label on packaging

Our hermit crab seems to like this sand. As soon as we put him in the cage, he burrowed in. However, I did notice a cancer and reproductive warning on the sandbag which is concerning as the hermit crab belongs to my child.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Upgradable

DO NOT USE. DANGER FOR KRAKOW HERMITS!

This sand is intended for hermit crabs, but it is dangerous for them. It hardens and sticks together in their shell. DO NOT USE! Play sand mixed with moist eco-soil is best and much cheaper. Visit Facebook Hermit Crab Owners Page.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Available for replacement

Killed my hermit crabs

At first I thought it was great stuff because they dig in it and my crabs don't usually dig. Both of my hermit crabs died within days of use. I have had these guys for many years and I try to take care of my pets. I'm so sad. Please do not risk the health of your pets with this material! Other negative reviews said they had the same problem. A very sad result.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • I'll add later

Sad crabs are now happy crabs

We bought three bags of this sand for my son's hermit crabs. After replacing the previous substrate with this sand, our three hermit crabs were visibly excited. All three started eating sand, digging in it, and all got even bigger shells. Before filling this sand, the crabs stayed buried all the time and only emerged at night. Now they seem much more active and happier. This sand must contain the minerals they need. We love it and will buy it again.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Not sure

My hermit crab died

My hermit crab died in this sand. After replacing the old PetSmart sand with Fluker sand, my hermit crabs started spending more time outside of the sand. Two managed to stay away. A hermit crab that couldn't find an escape route died. The two surviving crabs stay either on their hidden coconut shells or other hiding spots. They are used to stuffing everything in a coconut shell to hide it. Since I put the bowl on the sand, my crabs haven't spent any time in it. They seem to prefer being…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • There are flaws

I don't understand all the negative reviews

My three hermit crabs love it! I had them for a few months and they were lethargic, shy and didn't shed so I knew I had to make changes. At that time I only used Eco Earth as a substrate. Now I have half a tank of this sand and half a skein of Eco Earth and they are so happy! Now they are very active, constantly conducting large-scale excavations. As soon as I switched to this, they immediately started shedding. I've had hermit crabs for a year and a half and the smallest is the same size as…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Everything was great
