Fluker's Hermit Beach Sand Substrate

I travel periodically and must have my family take care of my crabs while away. They are not very good about cleaning up old food - thus I struggle with odor and insect infestation issues. For whatever reason (I'm guessing the probiotics) this sand has helped tremendously compared to all other substrates. Way less odor and NO bugs in the sand since I started mixing this in with standard sand/coconut fiber. Also - I have price checked sand across the internet, and Chewy's listing of Fluker's sand is the cheapest pre-disinfected sand I have come across. Only thing cheaper is industrial sand, but that must be washed first and mixed with calcium etc., which is a major hassle. Roughly $1/lb versus I travel periodically and must have my family take care of my crabs while away.

I am so satisfied with my product, arrival time, packaging, and cost. Thank you for the wonderful customer care you offered me, Chewy staff. I wasn't able to find this particular brand and product anywhere and was so nervous about ordering online. "Shelly" and "Brownie" are having the time of their lives burrowing and exploring safely today! I trust Fluker's Hermit Beach Substrate and am so grateful to be a member of the Chewy family! Thumbs up, can't thank you enough for carrying a quality product with such quality care and pricing!!! I look forward to do business in the future and encourage pet lovers to do so too!!! <3

I adopted 2 hermit crabs that had been living in about 1.5 inches of that white calcium sand for 3 months. I bought them this and they immediately started eating the coconut fiber and nutrients in the sand. The next day, one buried itself in the sand and has been molting for about a week now. The other one likes digging down a bit in it to hide during the day.

Enjoy this sand just wished they also had the white sand to order and the color sand it to expensive

We’ve had our hermit crab, Esther, for 8 years. I had always purchased her sand somewhere else but, decided to try this brand. Sand arrived faster then expected and it has been fun to see Esther digging away. LOVE the service and the price. This is our new sand brand from now on!

Nothing to write home about. Just clean sand to put in the hermit crab tank. Will likely buy again.

So happy with this purchase. My hermie loves this stuff. I find she's a lot more active now that I've switched to this substrate. Also really good for retaining moisture/humidity

Honestly the only sand I will ever use again i have it in all 4 of my hermit crab tanks

we cleaned our hermit crab tank and replaced the sand with the Fluker's sand. Our crab named Muscles buried himself almost immediately and he didn't come out until 17 days later. My son picked him out at Ocean City MD in 2006 when he was 6 years old. 13 years and 8 months later we still have him. Thanks.

My crabs were dying and this sand saved them and its awesome
