New tat!

Post by AML » Fri Jul 21, 2017 7:29 pm

After 4 hours I got my hermies moved and resituated in their new tat. This move 15 minutes down the road was actually more stressful than the move through 3 states. Within minutes of being placed in a large Tupperware a fight breaks out. I've never seen them fight! Unfortunately by the time I broke it up one of my crabs had a mangled leg and ended up dropping it. I'm super upset especially since it's Erza who I've had the longest (nearly 2 years). Placed them all back and am hoping for the best. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

I love it! You did a great job! I really like what you did with the water dishes with the plants in the middle. I might have to steal your idea Image. One of my guys is eating out of the same dish you have right now. Image

Thanks! I actually stole the plant in the water idea from another crabber who posted pics last week haha. Walmart. Cool dish buddies. I like these dishes because they are so easy to keep clean.
