Is it holding a brine shrimp egg, or is it digesting it? Cause that shot is so cool!

[Mamakins]

Amazing pics! Yes I think we are all glad you bought that macro lens. We are all loving the photos!

[Happy Crabber]

agreed.

These are sooooo cool! They look soooo different from the last pic updates! Do you mind if I share them on my hermit crab rescue's FB page?

I think one should be featured on the HCA calendar! Do you guys have one of those? LHC does! My crabbie won for November!

I think the one with the brine shrimp egg was just holding it. Though, I am unsure whether hos dorsal or ventral side is the one facing the camera. It's hard to tell.

Yeah, you can post the pics wherever as long as credit is given to me. wolfnipplechips from the HCA or Shadoe Haffner or whatever.

Okay thank you! I definitely will credit them to you! My cousin dances at the same studio Dance Moms is filmed at, and has pictures with her and the girls (Chloe, Paige, etc). People always steal her personal photos and claim them as theirs. It drives me crazy!

I love your name, it's really pretty!!!

OMG! Dance Moms! My colorguard students and I love watching it! We wish we were able to dance like them, they're so talented!

How are the babies today?

[wolfnipplechips]

Same I guess. A lot of dying ones, but somehow, still a ton of live ones. There seems to be less brine shrimp than normal today. Not sure why...

You guys will still like me even if all my babies die, right?

The rain still hasn't let up long enough for me to build the sandbox thing. The weather is unpredictable, and moves in fast. I got all the materials, though. Just waiting for a sunny day.

My husband surprised me with another bucket of salt today. It had a free t-shirt inside. Of course, it was several sizes too large for me.

I'll try to get some baby pics today. I KNOW some of them HAVE TO be in stage 3. Lots of molts floating around.

[parrothead]

aw Wolf... you are our HERO! no matter what Sorry about the babies Don't know if you heard, I lost Rhett today (one of the jumbo straws) :crybaby: so knowing you are working towards future generations of captive breed hermit crabs really makes me happy.

Absolutely! Just what you have documented and the pictures you have provided add to the hermit crab education for many of us.

[Skymall007]

Of course we shall still love you!!!!!

We are just so excited for these babies. if they don't make it, then it is still so much more information than was already had. Even if they were to die tomorrow, just think of how far they got! Not only have you gotten them to eat, but also to molt, not just once, but some are already in stage 3! You are working so hard, and we all hope that these little guys make it, but if they don't, this is still a HUGE accomplishment and it has been wonderful to learn so much about them. =)
