This guy and three others were listed on the adoption forums. After a few messages and not thinking it was going to go through I made the 3.5 hour drive up to Rochester, NY. This guy is missing a leg but is very active and constantly exploring! After a good molt s/he should be as good as new! Never in a million years did we ever expect to get the chance to care for a Ruggie!
The other three crabs in this adoption are purples. Two of them are super tiny. Tiny as in as big as our biggest 2018 captive bred baby. The third purple is much bigger than the others. The people said he attacked another crab and may be the reason the Ruggie is missing a leg.
The back story goes, their daughter did the research on crabs for a long time and they got her everything they needed. The adopted these crabs from here in early December. They weren't aware that food mites were common with hermit crabs. I tried to assure them they are harmless and are undetected in almost every home. They still wanted to give them up.
