Straws!

Post by LucasBinx » Fri Nov 14, 2014 12:46 pm

My Pet Shop strawberries! Since the other people who purchased their friends have posted pics of them, too(:
I just brought home two of them. These were when I first brought them home a few weeks ago and they tried on many shells! I think the smallest one has dug down. Wishing that one the best of luck~

I think this one is a female. It's hard to tell with their coloring hah

I believe this one, the biggest, is a male

And as I turn around after posting this, my cat, Ophelia, is on top of their tank. You can see the biggest straw in a polished jade turbo to the right. That crab is constantly eating. I never had to feed the crabs in that tank as often before I brought him home:p

they are sooo cute! I got 3 straws a couple months ago and they all went down for a molt, and the littlest one I named Sandy Claws just came up! what kind of shell is the crab wearing in the first pic?

Very nice colors! so many people getting straws from the pet shop , i had no idea so many crabbers near by, very cool. I didn't even know they had them until i was calling around randomly and they actually had them in stock, i was shocked to say the least, then i came back onto here, and found that hermityote had posted it!

the straws are so ok with just about anything, they let me grab em, they don't run and hide (as badly), they don't mind the other crabs or anything. they're slower it seems than the PP's and E's from what i've seen. that could just be my situation, as the straws i have that are up (some have gone down, but haven't come up yet), haven't molted since i got em, so I dunno. but they're so cool!

I'm not sure, since that was the one she came with
