Yeah, Kim has been carrying on for a while now about getting hermit crabs. Saw these really cheap at the reptile show and she couldn't resist. Yes, now there are 10 animals in our apartment. LOL!
We already had a leftover 20 gallon tank sitting in storage, so we put the gecko that was in the 10 gallon tank into the 20 gallon (as she is now big enough to move up in tank size) and now the 10 gallon is home to the crusty crustaceans. (sp?)
I haven't seen either one eat anything yet, but at least I think they were drinking last night as they were each hugging that sponge for a while. I assume they are somehow drinking off it. They seemed to just stay mostly on the left side of the tank so far. That pic Kim has of the big one up on the upper section is because she placed the crab there. It hasn't wandered up there on it's own yet. I'm hoping they do!
They are interesting to watch, as all pets are. I've already caught the cats sitting right in front of the tank watching it. (probably not good), but the tank will be moved higher up soon anyway.
Friend to Kia, Chipper, Zam, Logan, Raptor, Nimrod, Harley, Baby Crested, Mei, Esme, Jasper and Lucy Inara, along with the hermit crabs.
