Brine shrimp...

quote:Originally posted by Theodora:I have a bunch on brine shrimp eggs and I was wondering how you feed them? Raise them to baby stage and give them to the crabs or just give them the eggs?

Do you know your crab's gender?

quote:Originally posted by DoomSong:My crabs aren't hairy like that. Even after a molt. Huh. Yes, she's a hairy little thing. Lots of personality too. The bigger crabs don't seem as hairy -- perhaps it is a function of size?

Do you know your crab's gender?

Bonnie is a bit of an acrobat and doesn't mind stretching REALLY far out of her shell. I held her up and she came right out and grabbed the lip of the tank; I'm not pulling her...

Nori seaweed -- they loved it

I picked up some Nori (sheets of seaweed used in sushi) at the health food store yesterday and the hermit crabs loved it. They very eagerly gathered around and ate it for a while, and then dragged pieces to hiding places. Success!
