Nat, would you be able to take photos of their size in relation to how old they are? I've always wondered how old mine are. Of course, there will be some variations as some grow faster than others.

I've never had any problems with 'Impulse Buying'. They're just animals that I forgot I had planned to get.

sure I will do that when I move them to the growing tank, I am in the process of getting that sorted & stabalised atm. with age and size we must remember that some molts the crabs shrink so size is not the best guide and the differences between my babies is astonishing the crab in this photo is the largest up atm, I have ones that are less than 1/4 the size of him/her.
