Hermit Crab Patch and new stuffs!
Super excited since its cold and rainy where i live to redo my hermies home. Even more so because i got my HCP order in today as well!
Order came very quick. Was so happy that not only was it packaged simply and safely; i also got some awesome care sheets and a free sample of something id been looking at anyway!
Also my mom printed the hermit size sheet and she laminated it!!! Plus found three old shells from when i had a hermit as a kid!
Next stop Michaels and the dollar store. Will post pictures a bit later for anyone who cares.

Re: Hermit Crab Patch and new stuffs!
I bought an electronic caliper off of Amazon- for $9. Came with a case, and it fits in my purse so I can take it to the beach shops
. HCP was sold out of them at the time I needed one.

Re: Hermit Crab Patch and new stuffs!
oh my god. that sounds great! i got mine for 9$ as well (i think anyway) and love it (so so simple i was worried as math makes me second guess myself). tho im worried i might break it. (im a clumsy mess) so so glad you said you bring yours with you as i mentioned this to my boyfriend and he looked at me like id grown another head.
so happy i got it went threw all my shells and im right. Uu and RoxSand might have three options...might. so working on that before work tomorrow. (noticed they each checked out only one shell and have been looking in the shell shop but only for a little while then leaving without really giving any shells any thought so i figured i was missing something).

Re: Hermit Crab Patch and new stuffs!
Do you think the electric is easier than the one from hcp? I tried to look yours up on Amazon and I must be typing in the wrong words, what can I find it under? I'm awful at math due to a severe brain injury when I was 17 so electric sounds easier to meGotButterflies wrote:Yes, us crab people are weird too!
