Hermies are inactive

Post by AshAnne1994 » Sun Sep 25, 2016 10:50 pm

Good Evening,

I just moved my hermies to a 20g long tank and their humidity and temperature is perfect in there but for some reason they really enjoy sitting under the heat lamp on their log and just stare off into space. Usually they are all over the place. Just curious whether this is normal or maybe they are just getting acclimated to their new environment. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks :)

As they say "Crabs are weird." I wouldn't worry too much. :3

If you just moved them, they are most likely adjusting. Give them some time.

Update*- they are so active today I took Lilly (my small PP) out today because she loves crawling all over my hand and she's the only one that has molted so her claws are super sharp. She also loves being spoon fed peanut butter haha :D
