Peanut checking out the new climbing toy from HCP!! Image
And he decided to let me hold him for a brief bit Image
After that he watched me clean the food & water dishes. He just sat & watched! Poor guy is bored with Jack down for the moment lol

Awww! He's so cute! His name fits him perfectly! I love The mobani wood in the tank! I'm trying to find a larger piece for our tank. Our bigger hermits tend to love it and hog it so the smaller guys rarely get a chance in it.

Very cool! I've been meaning to add some of the sea urchin to our tank from HCP. Looks like I got some shopping to do tonight :D

Three up, one still down (no sign of King Felix and it's about 6 1/2 months now so I'm officially worried). I knew Mr Pinch and Charles Paris were up as I'd seen a few stand-offs at the food dish (little Charles Paris never acts threatening but medium-sized Mr Pinch always backs off -- yay for the little guy!) but found the tank trashed this morning and knew Big Enzo had been up, too. He makes such a mess not only due to his size but he's also the clumsiest crab I've ever seen!
PPs are Big Enzo, Charles Paris and Mr Pinch
On the Big Beach in the Sky: Murray, Gino, Oscar, Gordon, Ignatz, Harry and King Felix the Pale

hi!

i have four PPs(?) i rescued about two weeks ago today (yay)!

the one i see the most often and am arguably fondest of is my largest female Hermione. as i sit here she it investigating my only male Uu (Uu for Unnamed and Unsexed because he took the longest to sex (very active in my hand) and my boyfrined got tired of me saying Unnamed-Unsexed so he named him.) currently because they are bestcrabs and he was underground all day yesterday.

Ah pet sand....joys of being a hermie momI think Peanut went down for a molt about 2 weeks ago. Saw Capt. Jack up last week but haven't since. Been changing food every few days & it's remained untouched since last week's sighting. I think Jack just got bored being by himself....just hope he doesn't disturb Peanut if he comes across him!
Waiting game....
