HCA-Hermit Crabs Anonymous?

Post by Momadopolis » Thu Jul 23, 2015 3:09 pm

Today was a totally crap day. If I wasn't fighting with kids it was the husband. Then the insurance company had me on hold for 2 hours and hung up on me. So when the pet store called to tell me they took in 4 crabs a family couldn't care for, I knew it was fate. The two big ones were spoken for. It seems no one around here likes smaller crabs, they want big and jumbo. The smallest one is growing back an eye. I'm not sure how much he can see.
So here they are:
This is Prozac, a boy.

This is Paxil, a girl. She is camera shy.

Sorry about your bad day :( The new crabs are adorable. I love their names! I prefer smaller crabs, personally...they generally don't do as much damage as the big guys when they pinch. :lol:

My husband was just happy I only brought crabs home. My kids rolled their eyes at the names and my smart aleck daughter asked where Tylenol and Motrin were.
Paxil had already dug under in the little tank. I just wanted them to have a chance to change shells and eat/drink in peace.

I hope not! If this one doesn't last I'm not getting another one (unless he's totally loaded and like 95 years old)! Half the time I want to smother him in his sleep and the other half he's out fishing.
