Newbie to Crab Care

[Crabby Grammy]

I posted an introduction but I think I put it in the wrong thread/forum. I'm still figuring it all out lol. Anyway, I've never had hermies before and I'm doing my best to learn about their care. Here is a pic of my 10 gal crabitat that has 2 very small (quarter size) PP's in it. Any suggestions or feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks

More things to climb on would be nice for them.. you can get sticks from your yard or a park... just bake them in the oven before putting them in the crabitat.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking the same thing. I tried to find a driftwood centerpiece with several branches but I had no luck finding one for a 10 gal tank. That's why I ended up with the bridge. At least it's something. I don't think you can see it from the pic but I have fish net draped over the side of the moss cup for them to climb up. I thought about draping some over the tiki head to give them more to climb on and it wouldn't take up any more tank space. Plus I've ordered another chollo log. I couldn't find any off the shelf that weren't as big around as my arm. Maybe I could also take some fish netting and make a corner hammock. They were living for a week in the critter carrier I brought them home in so I've been scrambling to get them an appropriate home set up as fast as possible. It will always be a work in progress lol. I'm brand new to crab ownership so any advice is greatly appreciated.

you can check out dollar stores and hobby stores also for things to put in their tank.. it doesn't have to be actual crab decor or anything.. like a small pot on its side can be a hide.. or some small plastic organizers can have a 'door' cut into them
