My name is Jenn, I am a single mom of 2 boys, ages 12 and 9. I teach high school math in a public school which keeps me pretty busy, so I haven't posted much. I'd like to change that!!
I've been browsing a lot, and am grateful for the wealth of information that you all have shared. Here is the run down on us:
We purchased 2 hermit crabs from the beach, only to discover with a short browsing session that their care required far more than the shop indicated. Our hermits lived in their wire mesh open "cages" for two days IN THE BATHROOM until I could find a tank and heat source for them.
One of our original crabs made it only a few days, the other about a month.
We now have a pretty successful, but far from perfect set-up. We have now kept (for 4 months) a total of 6 crabbies, all mini-med size. 4 of them live in a 10 gal and 2 in a separate 5 gal. I originally moved the two for molting purposes, but decided to keep them there to prevent overcrowding.
I have a ton of questions!! All three of us adore our crabs. I will post some pictures as I can.
Thanks again, and I look forward to "meeting" you!
