Two of mine are down as far as I know right now (I haven't seen them for about a week) are down, and just added sphagnum moss to the top of the huts where they can climb until I can order a hammock to put it in(I know which one I want and everything, it's off Etsy, and while I'm on it I'm ordering a cholla wood(I didn't want it powerwashed bc I'll just boil it) and some food, from HermieGrub if I remember the name correctly, Just2OldCrabs, and Maddamay32's store, ACrabADay. My hermies up haven't touched the moss! But it has helped a ton with the humidity! My only complaint is that some of it turned white and then dry within a day of me soaking it for like, 2 hours. I'm still resisting the urge to look for my babies down like the anxious mother I am! I looked around my room and didn't see them, so been assuring myself that they're fine, and inside crabitat. My little hermie Aaron Burr had his claws in the water last night, which is good. I'm debating whether or not to bath them? I have zoomed bowls right now (I want to buy some plastic containers and rocks sometime, hopefully soon), and I haven't really seen them drink or bathe, but then again they are nocturnal…Irvingsmom wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 6:26 pmI just finished the crabbies new crabitat yesterday, and I’m so sad that they’re all down today. Anyone else have ungrateful hermies?

I know right! I spend just a tad too much time watching them when they’re up, and them I’m disappointed when they’re molting or just restingCrabby7Crabber wrote:I'm kind of glad my babies are assumed molting though, because they came from a pet store with not-so-great conditions. I'm glad they feel comfortable enough now to do it (I'm not sure they are, but they've been down every since I added more substrate last week)
, and hopefully I can nurse them back to health (especially my very first E{I love him so much <3}) and spoil them!

I never knew that I'd love these little creatures so much! They just grow on you!
Lol! I sometimes wake up at three a.m. and just watch them move around in the dark. Don't worry, I'm weird too! I'm probably not going to have a spouse because of my obsession of hermit crabs! Oh well, I won't be alone; I'll have them and my zoo that'll live in my house (and I'll have a room dedicated to my crabbies)!Irvingsmom wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 9:06 amI know right!

It's good you know one of your hermies are doing okay. I don't have any clockwork crabs myself; they just get up, eat, sleep, dig, and whatever else they want whenever they feel like it. Sometimes they'll come out of a hut in the morning looking super tired and I can just imagine them saying, "what'd I miss?"Irvingsmom wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 9:40 pmUpdate!
Silas and Bertram are still down, though I did catch a glimpse of Silas the other day so I know he’s doing alright.
Irving is an apple eating, climbing machine! Who gets up at around 9 pm LIKE CLOCKWORK. Does anyone else have clockwork crabbies?
