11 weeks and 2 days. Growing heaps. Cooked sweet potato was a. If hit tonight. They spent over an hour munching. Between courses they went for laps around the salt pool and climbed the barnacle in there. Then they checked out the hidey holes in the new drift wood.

They are still in 4-5mm openings in shells. BUT their leg span is well over 1cm and close to 2 I'd think.

Wow! I've haven't been active in the community for probably seven or eight years now... just getting back into it. Last time I was active, I hadn't heard of anyone successfully breeding hermits. This is so cool! They're so adorable. Who else has bred them in captivity? Has there been a lot? It's so nice to see successful stories like yours!
