Captive Bred, Baby Hermit Crabs!!
Today I just got 2 baby hermit crabs from Mary Akers, a well known hermit crab breeder. They are so freaking small!! One of them is 1/4" and the other is 1/2". I was worried about introducing them to my crabs today, but they seem to have adjusted extremely well! Their names are Radar and Flint.
Mary Akers is amazing and included a whole kit of handmade dishes and accessories, food, and extra shells.

Oh my goodness! The cuteness! I love the picture of the one going into the giant shell! I can just imagine it's little voice, "I going on a 'venture into the giant shell to see what's in there! Hello in there! *echoes back* Eeeep! I gonna go hide in a tree! That's too scary!"

Just out of curiosity does she sell/adopt out any crabs?

Yes, she does! You have to fill out an adoption application and be approved.
