Overnight I have 5 new holes in the tank and 1 mound of sand by the Mobani Someone's been busy! I had 1 small PP go down to molt about 2 - 3 weeks ago and one of our larger medium PP has been down 4 months now. But looking in the tank I only see 2 out of 5 PP's - both up from molts about 5 weeks now.

Julio is enjoying some honey covered blood worms and krill! Had to make an emergency trip to get another UTH for the new tat, it's very very cold in MI right now!

It's some dried lavender I found at an organic tea/spice shop. He goes crazy over it!

3 down for sure. 1 has been down for 4.5 months . Hoping he's ok! Starting to make me nervous. Our little one, Kelp, has started digging so I think he will be going down for a molt soon. So now it's just Mike who is above sub. I think he is really enjoying having the run of the tank. I see him a lot walking on the hamster wheel^_^ I love watching him on it. He is our only hermie that is up both day and night so I thoroughly enjoy it when he's not molting!

At least the last hermit standing is very active! When all my crabs where going under it was down to the most nervous of my crabs. So i barely saw he do anything.

It's awesome! Took him a while to even see that it was there but now he's on it like crazy! I took the idea from several of the other HCA members. It's awesome! People here are sooooo creative Image
