has anyone been able to order from Canada yet?

My Crabbie went from acting normal to running around w/o its shell. i tried everything to get it back in its shell. it seems lively, but refuses to get in a shell! Hello Serai, this is not the best place for a new post but I'll answer here and once you are ok we'll move it to it's own thread. I jus...

Maybe explain your situation and maybe they will sell you 2 for cheap.

it's ok that I'm in Canada, right?

My straw deposited a twice the last time as well, maybe 16 hours apart, that's why I didn't catch the second drop very quickly. Good luck!!

I'm glad they are doing so well and growing so much! That guy is super cute!

the tank looks great! But I agree with rocky, I will only keep a dozen or so in my my 115 gallon with 4x1.5 feet x 10 inches of substrate.
