They're up to a lot.
First up, an eating contest.

Next up, a nose dive. Watch the far pool.

What are your crabs up to?

I love those videos! What kind of camera do you use? It’s so clear! I want to get one so bad, I really need to try my son’s go-pro like I’ve been taking about. I love the eating contest and forgot he wanted to eat. I hope this doesn’t sound mean, but it was so cute how he rolled backwards. Nose dive was really good too, he just jumped right in! Your too big of a shell video was one of the first ones I saw on YouTube, I think it was you that I commented and talked to on YouTube also. I think about the wheel.

I have had Kaladin and Shallan for almost a year now and both have molted twice in my care! Shallan just came up from her second and is all shiny and hairy now! I actually caught her eating this evening and that's the first picture. Second picture is my exhibitionist boy, Kaladin, who likes to moon me when I pick him up and the last 2 are Shallan before her molt! Enjoy! ImageImageImageImage

Yes, I think that was me. Don't worry, I laugh too everytime I see them fall over. I use 2 different cameras. A WyzeCam and a Smart 360. They're really not very expensive.

Yay! Sonny finally came up from his molt! He went down sometime in mid to late June - so had been under for at least three months! Even my husband was sure he was dead, LOL. And yes, after 8 years and many molts, I still worry every time they are down!

I love those pictures! The last 2 peeking over the blue basket are so adorable! They need to be in a hermit crab calendar or something. Lol! We need a hermit crab calendar! I’d buy one! All of the great pictures I see on here, we could make one. Image

Thank you @Hermiesguardian for sharing camera info.

So I changed around the shell shop and added a climbing wall. Didn't realize it would draw such interest.

Really? That's it? Shells?

That's what you get for being greedy.

So this guy's new favorite spot is by the camera. I caught him actually climbing on it. Ignore the tv sound in the background. Lol.
