New Crab Owner + New Crab

Post by Julsie » Thu Dec 26, 2019 7:32 am

Hi :) I recently just got into hermit crabs seriously in the month of October and i’ve been coming to the HCA forums for answers ever since so I decided to create an account so hello! I started off with a 20 gallon tank but just upgraded to a 40 gallon recently. I have 8 PP’s :) when I tell you i’ve become obsessed... i’ve become obsessed lol. It started with two and turned into eight. My first hermie I got is named Big Poppa and following a few days later I got Henry The Hermit. Fast forward a month later into the end of November I added 3 more hermies to my crabitat. Crabzilla, Davy Jones and Popeye. I’ve been spending all my checks on trying to make their crabitat the best it can be lol. Anyway a few days ago I just added two more hermies ~ Whatacrab and i’m having a hard time trying to name the very last one. Would be great if you guys could suggest something! Thank you for reading I hope to find all the answers i’m looking for with the HCA and be the best crab mom I can be :)

Edit: I can’t believe I forgot to mention my other PP Reginald! ):

Welcome! Just keep coming and ask questions and read the care sheets. And sorry, I'm horrible with names. And fyi, once they start changing shells you won't know who's who anyway. Which I hate. Lol

Hello! Welcome! Share some hermit crab pictures. You’ve got some cute names. Don’t add any more, unless your going to keep your other tank setup too, just be careful with overcrowding. They really are so addicting! Lol!
