You know your a crab addict when....

Post by Guest » Sat May 19, 2007 7:12 pm

You know you're a crab addict when you're stressed at work and yell out "I'm going to drop my legs! I can feel them falling off NOW!" and everyone looks at you horribly and you continue with "And my BP as well!"And then they all go back to work......(that happened to me today...stressed about my Sebastian ....lol.....)

I have had hermit crabs for a couple of years and still have most of my originals. I joined LHC over a year ago and have learned a lot about crab care there. I have about 50 crabs (PP, Straw and E) in my 130 gallon tank that is a feature point of my living room.

when you keep the decholorinated water in a special place for the crabbies, your dog drinks straight out of the sink.

You're going on a 3-day weekend trip, the crabs have plenty of water, you've hired a well-trained crab-sitter, and yet you STILL spend the whole time worrying about them, and they are the first thing you check on when you get home.

You walk into your room to get something, and EVERY TIME, sit down and watch the crabs for a half hour, even if they are just sitting there.

You agree to adopt 11 crabs and pick them up tomorrow and while out for EE you impulsively buy 2 more.

When your son has a playdate with one of his friends, you hear the tank lid being lifted from the other room and you run into the "crab room" like a bat out of heck to save them. In the process, you scare the guest child.Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I have to try that one at some point. lolWhen you stay up later than you should just so you can watch your hermies come out at night, even though you know it means falling asleep in class the next day.
