Lovestruck by my little Hermies

Post by ZombieLuvMF » Mon Feb 01, 2021 3:55 pm

Hi All

I'm a fairly new owner with 5 PP's. It started in a Florida beach shop when my hubby and I decided to get away for a week on the beach November 2020. We hit up St. John's Pass tourist shop's and I came across a display of Hermit Crabs. Being somewhat older, I do have experiance with keeping pets and funds are not as much of an issue, so I thought what could it hurt. So, like many, I bought 5 of them, smallest that I found that were active. Wasn't until I got back to our beach place and started doing research on them, how bad the trade was.

We got them home and I quickly set up a 10 gallon tank for them, got through the PPD method and now I am setting up a 29g for them. I just adore them, probably my favorite pets. I love researching more and more about them.
