for the last couple of weeks I've been planning an adoption! It's been sooo hard for me not to mention anything but I didn't want to jinx it. 
Since I live in a remote area of Canada adoptions aren't exactly easy to come by. These guys are coming from 6 hours away. Originally I was supposed to be on a trip there but it did not work out, so my boyfriend (who also had a trip planned) is picking them up for me! They should be arriving later tonight. I'm so excited!
I do not know much about the condition that the crabs are in, the pictures I was sent were pretty inconclusive. The owner seemed to be trying to do best but was just not overly educated on crab care. (They constantly misspelled hermit crab lol) Both crabs have molted recently according to the previous owner, but their shells are much to small and they had no other options. The previous owner has had them for 3 years in a 5 gallon tank with a screen lid, a UTH, about 4-5 inches of Eco earth, a cocohut, shallow salt and fresh water dishes with sponges (not sure what kind of salt) and a food dish. Unfortunately they seemed to be fed froot loops.. (???) at least that is what was in all the pictures.
They seem to be pretty small, so my tank shouldn't be overcrowded yet, and I have already been looking for an option to upgrade.
he was asking 50$ for the crabs and all of their supplies, but after seeing a pic of my setup he offered me the crabs for free. I can't wait for them to get home! I'll update with pictures if my boyfriend sends me any, and I will post some once I get them in my tank.
until then, here are the pictures I have of them from the previous owner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
they seem a little stressed but they are exploring right now so I'll get some new pics up soon. They are so small compared to the crabs I have now!!
