Haha!



I apologize too!


I definitely need to get that coco hut. DO you think this one from online would work?

Also, would this work?

I think those would work if you suction cup them! That hut is practically the same one as mine that I bought from walmart :)

Edit: i forgot to mention the second story is just a kitchen dish rack with craft mesh zip tied to make it easier to crawl on. The other one in there i ordered off etsy its a hermit crab climbing stand that this person hand makes with crab climbing mesh

Yeah, I need to get that climbing stand! Thank you, I just wasn't sure about the wood.


The hut is made out of hevea wood, and the rope is made out of hevea wood (rubberwood) branches, plus natural sisal rope. Are these okay for hermies?
Three PPs (Hoodini, Aaron Burr, and Jubali)
Love my deceased baby crabs George Washington, Zero, Domino, Billy, Eduardo, and Shelly too 🥺

I don't think the wood is treated with anything so the bridge and hut should be fine.

Thank you! I ordered them, excited to get them tomorrow to add (I have some moss to go in the hut and I'm using mesh to make it easier for the crabbies to climb the stairs!
