No, I mean didn't you just find some and transfer them to water just the other day; or was that someone else?

Aww! Love the "must.... escape" pictures! I imagine it's harder than the adults to keep these micro crabs from escaping :lol:

AH yes 2 were alive last night. BUT I don't think they are going to make it. They seem to be swimming round and round in spirals or laying on the ground. Not interested in shells and after eating all their brothers and sisters these 2 are not eating anything that I put in. Just looked this morning and one is still moving but the other is not.

Probably for the best. I've already got 10 little ones and 4 adults. Can't keep expanding my house to put in more tanks hehehe

Well I'm sure if you wanted to make a business out of it plenty of people would be happier buying hermit crabs that aren't collected from the wild.

And you know exactly how old they are! When getting them from the wild, age is a guess.

They are so cute and tiny. I wish I had crabs that small.
