HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Today I realized that Columbia, one of my teenies, was up walking around. I also realized that I hadn't seen him for a long time. So I picked him up, and he had no sharp toenails or any other sign that he'd molted. My other teenies do this to me too. I almost never see them! They are so cute though, when I do see them.

Another funny thing is that I just put a bubbler thing in my tank, and of course it makes some noise. And only a few minutes after I'd put it in, I noticed Petra and Cookie sitting there staring at it. I told my mom and she said that they probably thought there was an alien invasion.

They are little buggers, aren't they?? Peach is alone & making holes & coming out, but only when I'm not looking. I've been putting towels over the tank to keep it a bit warmer at night. I do occasionally hear her scratching in there, but haven't seen her for about a week. She could be molting, I suppose as she just got adopted & she's got quite a bit of damage to heal: missing leg tips & LP w/arm. Hopefully all goes well. I really am worried about her & I miss her. I can't wait to get to know her personality. She's soooo little! I also can't wait to move her into the bigger home w/friends to play with. Didn't want to put her in there w/all the problems. Better safe than sorry.

Maybe they were looking for the bathroom. The sound of running water always does that to me!

LOL ... now I have to go to the bathroom just THINKING about running water! LOL

So do I now that you mention it!!!

Alot of my wee teenies hide out alot--kinda a bummer cause they are so cute racing thru the tank! I want to see them more

I think all my teenies actually like the new bubbler, because ever since I put it in I've seen each of the teenies at least once.

And well I hope that my crabs don't all have to use the bathroom, because it seems like they've all been in my water dish and who knows what they're doing in there.

LOL!
