Re: HCP Care Sheet Project
All of them??? Yipeeee... gotta find time to read them later today. Suppose to be a balmy week end here and we have a LOT to catch up on outside.
Later when I read them, looks like I will be changing my signature!
Thanks for being so patient, understanding and all your hard work Wai. Updating is NOT an easy task!!! Now hopefully to keep updated edits should be easy to do?

Re: HCP Care Sheet Project
Ah, I forgot to update the links as I had moved the care sheets to a different directory. Thanks!

Re: HCP Care Sheet Project
Can people hand these out now? They seem pretty good, and I'd like to give them out at the new crab kiosk in a local mall

Re: HCP Care Sheet Project
I am considering printing this out and handing to the pet store near where I live... they have the humidity at 20% in every tank they have!! I almost cried and bought them all.

Re: HCP Care Sheet Project
I printed out the Care Sheet and made a few copies for the Mom and Pop Pet Store in our town.
I went there today after watching my kids football game. Had to grab some frozen feeder mice for the snakes
I asked the lady who runs the place to look over them and if I could place some next to the tank where they keep the crabs.
By the time her husband got back with my mice, she was halfway through the care sheet and said: "Honey, we need to make some changes for the Hermits! - Fast!"
She told me that by tomorrow evening the crabs will have the right (fresh) food, water, temperature and humidity! She also wants to switch to EE, but cant make it deep enough for them to go down to molt.
This couple is running that store for as long as my husband (33) can remember! They had no idea that they did not keep the crabs the way they should!
BUT:
-Thanks to your care sheet they will have way better conditions!
-Every customer who buys a crab there, will take your care sheet home with them!
Her husband said, its better business, if they can provide a healthier, less stressed pet!!!
