I was reading my Hermit Crab's For Dummies book, and it said that if you don't have at least more than one E than the one all by itself will "slow down, get listless, refuse to eat, and eventually die". It also says you need to own at least three of them if you are going to own them at all. Is this...

Aw thanks wolf!

Awwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats Crabbymom!!!

As for all you thread-jackers, you should probably take your convos elsewhere. I don't mind it being on here, personally, but there is a rule about thread-jacking. :oops: :anon: Sorry. :cry: But I'm SOOO sincerely happy you got this far! You shouldn't bum yourself out, cuz we're all happy for you! ...

your crab are truly gorgeous!!!! the picture of Mrs.Z and the babies is adorable!!

hm isn't it better to split up the questions about german questions off of wolfs breeding thread? thx @ wodesorel: that's why we can't get variabilis *sigh* :( But we can get enough other amazing hermits. So it is not that sad perlatus also available at some other states, where it is allow to impor...

Most animal-stores have only one species or maybe 2-3. So you can't expect to go to a store and get every species you like. Many stores have no crabs at all.

And I forgot to ask you, Curlz, could I please have permission to share your pictures on my Facebook page for my hermit crab rescue? I own Caring Claws Hermit Crab Rescue, and I've been updating everyone with baby news! So could I use some of your pictures? I would give you credit, of course! Would ...

annopia has a C. Scaveola (I don't think I spelled that right...) and it's gorgeous! It has molted with her a few times too! I find it odd that you can't get C.Variabilis, since we can get strawberries (C. Perlatus) over here in the U.S., and they come Australia and Japan, and Micronesia. Am I confu...

That's absolutely amazing Curlz! I'm on Chrome now and saw the pictures, they are sooooo amazingly cute! That's great you got Violas to breed!

What kind of crabs do you have access to over in Germany? Which kind is most commonly sold? Over here it's purple pinchers.

That's so cute and cool!

Curlz, I couldn't view the links. But did you actually raise the larvae into little crabby babies yet?
