So it appears as though I started my hermit crab adventure in the same way as many others. In early July, while on a trip to Cocoa Beach, my family got a PP and an E (at the time I didn't know they were two different kinds). The poor little crabbies managed to survive the week at the beach and also a week in Disney World, all the while living in a tiny mesh cage with little water (I might also add that I asked the clerk if they would be 'okay' in that cage while we were on vaca and of course he spouted off that they would be just fine). Once we arrived home, I did my research and immediately jumped to fixing their cage into something suitable for them. Since all this has taken place my kids have become bored with the crabs and I fell in love
I have since picked up a few more roomies (all pp) and everyone seems happy....I recently made a second level in the tank by using a few locking suction cups and a plastic dish drainer I found on clearance...the sand and Eco earth are the right levels, salt and freshwater, temp/humidity are great etc. I'm wondering if not having a second E is a big deal though? There are several pp's but no likeminded buddies for the Ecuadorian.
