Got 85% off at Michaels!! I believe it is complete! Only question is I put the shell shop on corner shelf, does it need sides?

WOW! Absolutely gorgeous penthouse crabitat -- you did an amazing job (and 85% off always makes everything ever better :lol: ). The crabs will just love all that dense greenery and, as long as they're not all in green turbos, you'll still be able to spot them :wink: .

Re shell shop: no, no sides are needed -- even when shells are put into a basket or a hammock, the crabs still manage to throw them all out anyway. Just get used to picking up and rinsing shells daily...it's one of the perks of being a crab parent.

Thank you if it wasn't for this site, I would be lost! Still have so much to learn. Hoping they will be climbing like crazy now. For some reason my two bigger guys pick the biggest, heaviest, bulkiest shells. I got some green turbos from Joann's today, none are big enough for the 2. Pretty sure those will have to wait, a while, my hubby will freak if I do anything more

Amen! We all learn so much from one another (and our crazy crabs) here every day. I was crabbing for over 6 years before I found HCA and am amazed that my crabs managed to survive in spite of me all those years :lol: .
