Hello! New (for the second time) crabber!
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2015 10:56 pm
Greetings!
I am new, well relatively new, to crabbing. I had hermits for a few years when I was younger, but being that I was around 11, I didn't have the resources to care for them properly. I researched diligently hermit-crabs.com, switched to sand from gravel, housed them in a ten gallon, did my best to feed correctly, but I was unable to see them thrive. I became disheartened by their deaths and eventually gave my remaining crabs to a teacher.
Now, at (almost) 24, I am more knowledgable and am able to procure the resources necessary to have my crabs be healthy. I currently have 5 PP's, 2 tiny/small in an ISO, and a Medium, small/medicum, and tiny/small in my ten gallon. Tomorrow I am going to buy a 40 gallon breeder thank, but it will be a while before I will be able to get all the accessories I will need to get it up and running. I'm very excited to get this project going!
