Just for clarification, is that not-paid for rescues only? :)

Technically any Hermie taken out of most of the stores is a rescue weather paid for or not. (my personal opinion).

THAT is so funny!

I was looking for somewhere to type about my scary addiction! I have found myself on ebay buying all kinds of crab foods, and then I found the Crabbage Patch website, and I have been going crazy!!! It really worries me! Then, about 3 weeks ago, I bought my first Straws!

And I find myself thinking about them ALL day, and what I can do to make their little lives better!!

I started decorating their crabitat, and even fixed up the stand it is sitting on! I mean, really obsessive like! My hubby thinks I have lost it I guess.
I bought my first crabs back in 96!!! I didn't know enough about them back them to keep them alive :( But I sure have learned a lot the past 10 years! Especially on the HCA!

This place is great :)

Crabitats: 55L, 40B, 29L

I think you need to add to a step addjust it.

Buy half a tank of Ecwees and try to sneak them past the spouse. "What? No, I've had that Ecwee for 6 months..."

Yes, I know. Piccies Piccies. Soon.

Kathy you have more babies than I do and I have completed the 12 steps four times now :shock: . I can't imagine how many times you have completed it :wink: .
