Craigslist Rescue!

Post by SheogorathsQueen » Sat Apr 15, 2017 9:31 pm

Hi everyone!

Today I adopted 2 small PPs off of Craigslist :D I haven't named them yet.

I decided to keep them in their own 10 gallon tank until they get bigger. I do not want to put them with my other 2 in the 40 gallon because those two have been known to bully smaller crabs :oops:

It took them a while to come out of their shells, but they are cruising around the tank now! Currently have some shells boiling for them.

Gotta get some more things for them to climb on, as well as some more shells. I'm not used to such small crabs since my other 2 are very big!

Awesome! They look fun! My guys are small and medium right now- I really had to rethink some things when I got my small- some of the tat setup was too big! :lol:

Awwww... they're so sweet! :love::

I got five of my seven from Kijiji (the Canadian craigslist), and they all seem to be healthy, sturdy little things.

Adopting is a much better option than buying because you aren't voting with your dollars to maintain the crab importation trade (which of course is horible for the crabs and blah blah blah. ..)

Any way, good on you!! Keep us updated! :D

Edit - nice camera! Did you take those on S phone?
