Not new, but havnt been on in along time

Hello all,
My name is Nate and I live in the Ca bay area. I have owned crabs for over 10 years and used to use this forum (or ones similar to it) for alot of info. My crabbing family started on my wifes and first wedding anniversary where instead of buying me a turtle she handed me a hermit, and yes the joke is "My wife gave me crabs on our anniversary.". In total I have owned over 30 hermits since then where the longest living one that I had was 8 years old. Currently I have 10 hermits (5 PP, and 5E) living in a 29L tank. I try to be a good crab dad for the additions to the family, even my daughter has gotten in to crabbing, one of the E's and one PP belongs to her and she helps me take care of them. I have alot of information saved up in my brain so if you want you can ask go ahead.

Oh and if you are ever in Fairfield Ca the Petco has E's.

Welcome back to the HCA! Yes, I remember that story! Didn't your daughter right an essay about it or something? LOL!!

[Natejaeg]

My daughter is 5, but she runs around telling everyone she has crabs. The looks I get from them untill I tell them hermit crabs.....

[GotButterflies]

Oh, okay...well another crabber had a similar situation where their child wrote about the parents getting crabs on their anniversary for an essay at school!! Wait for it...it might happen to you too
