How long these animals live ?

The sellers claim that they keep some nutritious supplements inside the plastic containers. This nutritious supplements keep the animals alive for several weeks or months. This is 100% false. Only food makes no animal live for a long. Without fresh oxygen, water, air no animals can survive for a long. Actually, no access to air and limited space kills these animals quite quickly.

Unfortunately, buying or selling these poor creatures as keychains is not banned in China. These activities are legal. I think it should be banned.

this is the era of packaging of items and China has got the idea of packaging aquarium in this manner so that many pocket aquarium can be sold. Because, they have to sell anything to increase their economy. Though selling small live creatures in this way can't be supported but who can stop China..

they're very cruel
