Re: Neighbor gave me 4 hermit crabs last Thursday

Thank you both. I mixed the semi-damp eco-earth with the dry sand. It was a bit damp, but I think it helps keep it humid (?) Since I got rid of their beloved coconut condo, and replaced all the substrate, it smells pleasantly earthy in there, not horrible like it did with the coconut condo. It’s a s...

Re: Neighbor gave me 4 hermit crabs last Thursday

Neighbor gave me 4 hermit crabs last Thursday

It’s funny you used LEGO! That was actually one of the first thoughts that came to mind to me too! But I didn’t enjoy digging through my son’s LEGO pile [emoji4] He might be able to build the stuff better than me anyway.

Neighbor gave me 4 hermit crabs last Thursday

Hi people! My neighbor gave me 4 hermit crabs 5 days ago. One is quite a bit bigger than the others, in a shell about the size of a lime, two are mid-sized in shells about the size of walnuts, and the littlest is in a shell about the size of a large grape. They are red legged, with purplish big claw...
