Anyone else have an E that jogs every day?

[Guest]

My last remaining E, Kunoichi, has picked up an interesting habit. Every day she wakes up with a morning jog around the crabitat. I'll hear clicking of shell on glass and look over to see her scaling the side of the plastic rock hidey. From there she lowers herself back down, skirts the side of the freshwater dish, scales the driftwood, climbs the nets over the food dish and saltwater pool, down the plastic turtle ramp to the plastic log hidey, and back into the corner to redo the run. The only time I've seen her interrupt her schedule is if I walk past and scare her, or if she notices me watching her and stops to see what I'm doing. She's all over the place, too. Upside down on parts of it, climbing over larger shells in her way, attempting to scale the glass sides on the way, etc.

I was wondering, does anyone else have a hermie that likes running laps?

I have a new micro E that is running all over tat. It is really moving around the tat fast too. In the wild they will travel far and wide looking for food so it makes me wonder if the get board in the same environment all the time.

I have a couple Es that run around and they usually run faster backwards rather than frontwards.

Bello my crazy crab does laps around the 20L. He will climb over, knock over and push his way through anything and anyone in his way. The PP's just sit in the upper level and watch.

You should hand them some popcorn kernels and a silverside to enjoy during the race. lol

Yup, Timmy (my insane medium-large PP) does that too - although not as regularly. He has this habit of, during his running about, hurling himself at any pieces of cuttlebone I've stuck in the substrate (Julian likes to gnaw at them sometimes and keeping them in the sand stops them ending up in the water...). He then picks up the cuttlebone in his BP and tried to drag it into a corner where he leaves it. He has serious issues, that boy....

Surprisingly enough my E's don't have a regiment, they sporadically climb all over but I do have 2 PP's who go laps around the tank everyday and it being a 125g tank that's quite the laps...one in particular "Sugar" does about 5 laps a day at least

[Guest]

Oh, she'll do the climb all over everything bit, too. This morning I found her doing laps around the screen lid. It's just that she has her routine lap around the crabitat that is her primary run.

[Guest]

Two of mine do laps around the lid. I get a kick out of it if they do it at the same time, too. lol Seb has a twisted limb and is a lot slower than Marie so he tends to hold her up, making her go to turn around the other way. More times than not, that's when I hear a soft thud as Marie loses her grip and falls to the EE below. :roll: lol

I've noticed in the morning when I turn on the light all the PP's retreat to sleep and all my little E's come out and search the perimeter for that elusive back door

-and I have to add so many of these posts were funny I almost 'quote' responded to about 4

aww that reminds me of my E nova. T_T he used to do that everyday.

[Guest]

Little Boy, one of my PPs, will do that. He would usually start around the fresh dish, run THROUGH the salt dish, run over the shell pile and the coco hut, climb over the lighthouse, skirt the fresh dish again, climb over the cork log, and go through the salt dish again. I miss seeing it. He needs to finish molting!
