A few pics of my buddies!

Post by Christian » Thu Oct 25, 2018 10:18 pm

Hi everyone! Just wanted to post a few pics of my lil buddies, more to come soon!

This is Arvid, one of the 2 purple pinchers that I got in Michigan. These guys were by far the healthiest hermit crabs I have ever seen in a pet store!

This is Orm, the other PP I got in Michigan. He buried himself within a week of coming home, and stayed under for almost 2 months. When he finally resurfaced, he was so purple he was almost black! Quite hairy as well lol.

This is Brody, one of my Ecuadorians. My girlfriend and I stopped at a Petsmart on her birthday to check their crabs (fully anticipating being upset about their conditions/health, and ready to give them the what for about it). They had just received a new shipment of crabs, and none of them were purple pinchers! So, we got all 8 of them lol. Fairly certain i ended up with 6 Ecuadorians and 2 Ruggies... He changed shells within a week of being in his new home.

Thanks! I made it myself, its braided natural rope with bamboo skewers put through each braid. It's the same as my other ladders, I just twisted it.
