4 new adoptees!

Post by MuseCrazy » Mon Oct 13, 2014 8:02 pm

I did 2 adoptions today which yielded 4 new PPs and a ton of food, supplies, a 10gal, decor and a ton of extra shells!

You're kidding me! They're both females? :o I must not be that good at finding the gonopores!

Glad to see they're settling in happily!

I need to ask- is that real wood in your tat? Did you treat it before putting it in? I had a mold problem and would be very interested to hear!

Another female? :shock: Gah--I'm really bad at sexing crabs, apparently! I'm glad my gorgeous girl is in your good hands now. (Was I right about her coloring, or was I right?)

It is real wood that I got from an adoption. Not sure if it was previously treated or not but I rinsed it in vinegar, fresh water, then soaked overnight in salt water.
