I live here in Ocean Shores and I go out and dig sand shrip all the time. For me the key to keeping these things alive is...

1. Keeping them dry. Not letting them soak in water. Not letting them soak in there own urine. That is one of the big Killers

2. Keep them cold. I normally put them in the frige at night in a small container with at sponge at the bottom to absorb any urine, and keep them out of the moisture.

3. Rinse them every so often with salt water. This removes the urine from their surface, plus i think it kind of refreshes them. DO NOT LET THEM SOAK IN SALT WATER it makes them soft.
