New to crabbing

Post by Kkayp1961 » Thu Sep 15, 2016 10:35 pm

Got totally hooked on hermit crabs last month when my partner brought 2 home from the beach. I immediately hit the internet researching what they needed to live, went and bought a tank and all the stuff to set up a basic crabitat, unfortunately the poor little guys didn't survive. So after giving a long lecture on leaving wild crabs in their natural habitat I decided to purchase some. We have 3 crabs, 2 are very shy and only come out late at night but one is very active and has already changed into one of my favorite shells from our vast collection. We are already looking for a bigger tank so we can get more!

Welcome aboard! Yep, these little guys are absolutely addicting as in you can't stop at just one...or two, or three! Glad to hear the new additions are doing well and, of course, we'd love to see pics of them :D .
