Can I order my hermit crabs around January/February? Or only on during nice weather?

Anyone know the likelihood that these little ones are still alive, since they have been in there since Tuesday?...
Yay!
So long as the temperatures have been okay during their trip and they weren't in too bad of shape when they were mailed, they should be fine. Both times I've mailed crabs they've taken two full days to arrive, but they were healthy crabs who had been with me for over years and had molted many times, and the temps were between 70 and 80 degrees between where I was and where they were going.

This is exciting. i can't believe people are finally getting crabs. For those that have received them or gotten email from her about shipping, when did you order them? I ordered blueberries and strawberries in March and haven't heard anything.

I think the smalls came in the second Indonesian order so they are probably still in de-stress mode.

Well, in the hopes of at least getting *something*, I contacted her and said I'd pay to ship my straws separate from my Aussies since she said I was one of the first people who pre-ordered. She cut me a discount on the shipping (it should be free, but I am SO tired of waiting) and my straws are supposed to ship next week. I ordered 4 larges.

She said I could do that too with my blues and cavipes. I'm not quite done with the new tank yet so I may get on it and get the blues and cavipes.

I did the same thing and had her ship my blues and cavipes last week, I told her to wait on my straws and indos at a later date. I could not wait any longer and glad they are here and de stressing..

All of my blues are gray, but I got a pretty viola that is blue, I call my blues "grayberries" they need to molt badly, anyone else see mites??

Have you tried ordering them? It says "This item is currently unavailable" but it also says in stock & ready to ship so maybe she does have them?

I haven't tried ordering them, but I'm really unsure and weary of the problems she has. I'd order from HCP but they don't have E's either apparently.
