Yes they can change gender. I’m not sure if they do it when they molt or how they do it but they can. Maybe @wodesorel or @motorcrab knows if it’s when they molt, I don’t think we know how or why they do it. Just crazy amazing little creatures. [emoji4]

Thank you. [emoji3526] They are addicting to want all of them. [emoji6] The more rare species are harder to keep and I’ve had some heartbreak losing a couple of Es and straws. They can’t take moving and temperature changes like the purple pinchers. Then again they’re all so tough yet so fragile, it’...

You’ve done an amazing job on your tank. They’ll find the wheel, figure it out and then they’ll be on it all the time, lot’s of fun stuff for them to do in there. [emoji4]

The main tank has 6 - 8 inches of sand/ee mix, and the moulting tank has 6 inches. Their food has dried shrimp in it. Sent from my...

When they escape they usually do try to find the most humid places, usually bathrooms. Not rly trying to be funny but I guess he found the best humid spot. Hope the little guy makes a full recovery. Edit to add: try to increase the proteins you give them such as dried one ingredient dog treats like ...

I love watching them eat. She is so cute. [emoji7]

I would maybe increase meat/protein offerings. I like to offer land and aquatic types just to make sure I’m covering both bases. Offer them some dried beef liver or some dried chicken along with an aquatic type like plankton, krill, or dried red shrimp. Sometimes they need a boost of proteins. I kno...

My friend just adopted a 13 year old Chihuahua! It's an adorable little thing. It has a Spanish name that I can't remember at the moment. [emoji38] Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Aww! I wanted a Spanish name for my girl, I had a roommate at the time that said “Tila Tequila” and I thoug...

Same here, our girl will be 15 in June. We got her when our oldest human child was a little over a year old, he’ll be 16 in June also! How the time does fly!

I can put it on my YouTube and do it that way if you want? I’m pretty sure I saved it. It is an adorable video, definitely needs to be shared!
