Better Crabitat

Post by MeowzTheKat » Wed Jul 12, 2017 8:28 pm

I have been on this forum for just about a week now and have had my two crabs for a week now as well and I finally got them a 10 gal tank today. They were in a plastic carrier, probably only 2 gal or so and they already seem happier with the new setup and little bit of things I have added for them. They are climbing around and investigating.

That's awesome! Can I make a suggestion tho - lose the painted shells. You'll want a natural shell and their preferred type. Here is a shell guide: http://www.hermitcrabassociation.com/ph ... hp?t=92552

Edit: Sorry! I forgot the pics are down... It still has a lot of information just no pics.

Oh yes I know! I meant to buy them more natural shells when I went shopping but I ended up forgetting but I plan on buying them some soon! Image
