That is soooo cute.


Crabbing for 2 years-still obsessed! 6 total crustacean kids. Gave up trying to tell them apart but I love them all.

I had a similar situation but didn't catch him until his little bottom had dried up with eco earth stuck to him. He had drug himself to the front of the tank (I believe to be seen by me better because he knew he needed help which makes me cry just thinking about) I did all the step you did. Though h...

I have 6 crustacean kids. 2 (small PP's) have been down molting for at least 8 weeks. During which time I really needed to do a deep clean. I was sure they had died though had no death smell which I don't put much weight in that smell since I had my only death without stink. Anywho each time I wante...

Hermit-Yote, I bet you make sure the Hermit Crab conditions at your store are tip top shape :clap: Do they have certain people they call when they need to give them away or do they post it anywhere? I am really glad it is just a myth that they don't actually just throw them out. The person who told ...

I have to chuckle because I just purchased several "D" shaped shells for my 2 "E"'s which ended up costing me $20 for 6 of them. :shock: At the time I really didn't have that extra money to spend but I kept thinking they were needing new shells.

Ahh you guys made feel better. I thought maybe it was just my guys. Everyone's pics look soooo nice and them mine is trashed. They even have managed to make trenches all the way around the edge. I will probably get the clamp suction cups. My shower caddy won't stay up either but I've seen pics where...

I look at all these beautiful and clean crabitat a with their clear glass and clean plants and other decorations and think "what am I doing wrong". My guys destroy everything! They manage to get EE splattered up and down the glass. Everything they climb on -which is everything- is covered in EE. I c...
