I got this gorgeous big girl from Petco today, and I adore her! She's got an injury on her big pincher and part of her leg is missing, but she's already eaten some fresh foods and gotten comfortable in her new home! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170907/3b79b0dfb26b636795b784c4b302dd20.jpg https...

I have 4 crabbies, Tama, Toa, Clawford, and Scout, all 4 of which were down molting!!! However, I had a major ant infestation in their tank, so I didn't really have a choice but to dig them all up, except for Clawford who came up earlier in the day by himself. Lucky for me, Toa and Scout were done m...

Hello! You would need to raise them in a separate tank, and then rear them for a couple of months so you aren't feeding any pesticides to your crabs. Or exposing any pesticides to your crabs. Hermits will eat the isopods if they can catch them. Isopods are very easy to take care of, and imo enterta...

Toa says that while all his pals are under, he's gonna enjoy the hammock and eat some leaf litter!!!

They're wonderful!!!

Or the dog wouldn't appreciate the 'love back' as the crab transforms into a large tongue piecing. I'm lucky to say that my current dog is extremely afraid of my crabs, and over the years the few times one has managed to escape, my dog is the one barking at them. The crab being a tongue piercing is...

I had to stop Mater from kissing Tama! I don't think he would have appreciated a slobbery dog kiss much!

I forgot to point out Mater's toy hermit crab in the background lol!!!

I wanna preface this by saying I didn't let Mater stay by Tama long! Just enough to snap a picture! My golden retriever, Mater, is the most gentle creature in the world, and he's my baby, so naturally when I had Tama out for some pictures, my golden boy had to see what his mama was playing with!
