13crabchick13, you should try not to make new topics about everything that happens, unless you have questions about different things. Try to post all of the things about your crabs either in the journal section or at least in a single thread. This keeps down the number of threads about small topics. Welcome to the forums and we hope that we can help you out with your crabs!

Being new hermies I would like to strongly recommend reading:

This is a very important time to help them adjust from all they have been through to help cut back the added stress.
If you are new to hermies, I would suggest to wait for awhile to see how these hermies are able to adjust and make sure you are able to maintain a stable crabitat. Also, if you get new hermies, you should iso them from the ones you currently have which would mean you need an iso tank too.

I agree with Emma, and it makes it much easier to try to follow members postings about their hermies too in case a complication would arise.
If I was more at ease, I would merge all the topics together created so far.... but not comfortable with doing so yet... too many posts started already!
