New Hermies! :)

[Karen]

Aww, looks good! And so much better than what they were living in at the store!

MUCH better. I bet the hermies love it. I've just got one suggestion. The next time you get new substrate they might enjoy the finer-textured coco fiber instead. Its easier for them to dig and molt in. Their new home looks great, though! I bet they feel so much better now.

And don't feel bad about where you bought them from. Its fine! My sister bought Monster from a terrible little place in the mall about two and half years ago. That place has since quit selling hermies.

I couldn't find many decent recent photos, but I took one of my other crab last night.

Miss Murder says "Hi! Now put me down. :[ "

I've got a video of Towser barking at the hermit crab tank that I'll post in Dog General later. C:

Miss Murder is so cute!! How old is your other Hermie? I'd love to see a picture thread totally for them hehe I'd love to see their tank setup as well.

I thought my mom parents would be mad I spent so much on them but they were actually happy that they have a nice home!

What a great photo of Miss Murder! Hi, cutie!

[Casper]

Thanks you two. I had planned on doing a thorough cleaning of their home in the next few days, so I'll take a few new photos then and make a thread.

Alyssa, since all hermits are wild caught, I am not for sure on their ages. Studies have showed that you can guesstimate a hermit crab's age by how big they are, and judging by the chart Monster would be atleast 20 and Murder is closer to 10 or 15. I've had Monster for two and a half years and Murder for almost a year.
I'm glad your parents were okay with it! My mum is afraid of them lol. She says they look too much like spiders.

Kirk and Spock are so cool! I've always been fascinated by hermit crabs.

Thanks!

You should get some Annette, they're so cute Courtney do you have the link to the chart or was it not online?

I got a cute pic of Kirk I wanted to share. I LOVE when they go in their shells from being scared and then they slowly peek out are you LOL it's so cute.


Oh and an additional one of Kirk.

I find their eyes so beady and cute
