They are just too adorable! [emoji7]

Yes! I’ve seen three 55s connected with two 29 as the toppers. I thought about doing that with my two and one of my 29s until I got this 125. I’m sure you two can come up with something really cool!

Aww! That’s so awesome! Congratulations on the two new guys! They are beautiful! You guys are going to need a whole other house just for your crabbies soon! [emoji23]

I love your bridge, it turned out great! I think as long as you keep something heavy on top of your lid, you will be fine. A lot of people keep the screen lids (covered to hold humidity) bc they like to let their crabs climb up on the lid. Hermit crabs can get just about anywhere they want to, I’ve ...

As long as your humidity is in the safe range, you never have to mist your tank, even if the top few inches seem dry that is ok. The only time you need to mist is if your humidity drops. Moisture will go towards the bottom of the tank and the top layer will feel more dry. [emoji4]

Love them! So cute!

Love those hairy crabby legs! My Brutus has some crazy hairy legs too! Lol!

So exciting! Can’t wait to see your new friend. <3

My crabby-neice! I love this picture. [emoji3059] I have never seen a true jumbo crab until I met Princess, she is so amazing! She truly is such a sweetheart. [emoji3590]

He is so cute! I thought it was a rat at first. Is it a rat or a hamster? I had a pet rat a long time ago, they’re really great pets.

This is so cool! I have quite a few good pictures, I don’t know where to start! Lol!


Or wait are we just supposed to use one?

Hello and welcome! Amazing to hear you’ve had your hermits so long! That is the truth, no love like hermit love!

He is soo cute! Love that sweet little face!

All parts of him looks.. Intact... For lack of a shell. He was one in a very small shell when I moved it into the big tabj, and moved to a bigger shell after perusing through every shell. He was very stubborn previously. If I bury him in a flower pot, will it start smelling? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5...
