"This was great for my snails! They loved using the little staircase down to the water."

— mary

"I've read a lot about caring for hermit crabs and avoiding accidental drowning. After receiving, I haven't used this because it seems too deep and too slippery...using a dish from a different manufacturer. Maybe I'm being overly cautious but not willing to take the chance."

Bottom Line

While the Fluker's Hermit Crab Lagoon has a nice design and is appreciated by pets, the durability issues and leakage problems make it a risky purchase. Buyers should consider these factors before making a decision.
