me too! what grade are you in hermies?
ok i bought timmy/timmie last night AND my book. i got a basic manual book about sign for $13. timmy/timmie is now my baby. he/she (out of shell) is smaller than a dime. he/she hasn't let me see whether he/she is a boy or girl yet. we'll work with him/her until he/she is more comfortable with being held. he/she is very active but needs to molt badly. he/she has his/her "thumb" on the big claw missing and he/she is missing the middle leg on the right side. i'll keep an eye on him/her for a while, and keep you updated!

i look for them to. if i can't find any injured crabs, i will take one that looks like they need to change shells/molt. like ike. they had one in there they named Hulk. he's a dark rich purple with a huge shell. he has all 3 legs missing from his left side. she was playing with him, but i wanted one that was smaller that way i didn't have to buy new shells, i have plenty for him to move into after he molts. but she did warn me that bc they had just gotten that shipment of crabs in, some can't stand the stress and pass away. so i really have to keep a close eye on him to make sure that he's ok. he's pretty active and he loves the coconut wall. he slept up there last night lol.

really 7th grade? well you act more mature than your age. reminds me of me! :) yes now i have 5 just like you. timmy (it's a boy) has been in the coconut hut a lot. he hasn't molted yet, but i'm waiting for him to. lemi and ike are under for their 5th and 2nd molts respectively. i'm hoping that timmy goes under soon. i changed the sand the other day so it was nice and neat for when my boss takes them for the weekend. remember, i'm gone this thursday through monday. going to seattle!
