Crab Adoption :,)

Post by friesb4uxbabe » Wed Feb 07, 2018 11:30 am

This past Sunday I was able to adopt 4 crabs from a lady who could no longer care for them. She drove about 45 mins to drop them off at my house. Their previous set up was a 20g with a good amount of sub, not sure about humidity, but she used a heat lamp as a heating source. She was kind enough to give me a bunch of other stuff like decorations, a patch of live moss, food bowls, and shells! It was all free too, I tried giving her money, but she said she just wanted them to go to a good home. Image These guys are so friendly and get along great with my crabs, this adoption couldn't have gone any better! Here are pics of the newbies, along with their new names ImageImage
