Do your crabs ever disappear and you find them in the oddest places?
Here is Dash. Finding a nice spot between two climbing logs...
Close-Up
Almost like he couldn't decide if he wanted in the hammock...I looked for him for a good 2 minutes and almost came to the conclusion he had escaped (which is impossible since my lid is clamped shut...)

I have a small tiki head that I didn't think anyone could fit in, but here my second biggest managed to get his butt in there.

where do you find those ramps for the water pools? I have noticed many people have them.

My hermies always hide behind the coconut husk they use to climb

I think I am doing something wrong because I can not get suction cups to stick to the interior glass to save my life

I have tried drying the cup and surface and wetting the cup etc. they pop off or slide off. How do you get them to stick?

My guys are all hanging out on and around the barnacle! It is from JoAnns. It is 100%real
natural barnacle. Biggie Claws broke some of the side off of it. He does not seem to realize how big he is. He is always climbing on and sitting on things he is too big for. I had to bury the barnacle because the little ones go into one of it's holes to sleep. He saw that and decided he would crawl under one day. I found it half flipped and sleeping under it.. They love it!
