Sitting on a house

Post by Big Boy Hermit Crab » Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:54 am

It’s probably just her favorite place to sit and hangout. I have a few of my guys that like to go back to their certain spot to nap and hang out.

Mine hang out on top of the meter box, as soon as I hung it in there it became the spot to be.

Our largest likes to climb up on the massive log and just chill up there for hours. He seems to like being able to find a perch.

Yep, just a favorite perch. Some like to be higher up, some like to be on the ground, and some under it! They’re all so different, that’s what makes it so fun!
