What are your hermit crabs doing right now?

Post by bobo »

They are all in their carrying case, the PP's are together, the E is isolated in a different carrying case.

Quigley is eating a lot of orange happily

Juliet is trying to escape by climbing up smooth wall, not working to great while taking breaks to eat sand every now and then.

Uno is Climbing on the cieling of his carrying case.

Jeffery is busy molting in the main tank.

Carrying case? They don't have a main tank?

Eating sand? Gracious, must need calcium or something.

Slightly is sitting on the sand under one of the second layers, and Nibs is hiding in the cocohut on the shower caddy.

Not sure on the rest.

They do have a main tank but I take them around the house occasionally.

My jumbo is sitting on the moss and everyone else is in their houses, huts or molting. Well, actually my second smallest is changing shells. he's changed several times today as he came up from his molt tonight. :)

5 of my crabs are in there shelter right now, 1 buried underground for no appointed reason, and finally 1 is molting at the time. So really its the usual for me right now. Couple is eating the substrate, really nothing out of the ordinary. Speaking I have 3 jumbos, 1 large and 1 small in the same shelter. Im guessing its pretty tight for them.
3 Turbos, 1 Large, 1 Medium, 2 Small. Never out of the ordinary is it? Though my crabs are. Why dont you check them out. http://s678.photobucket.com/albums/vv149/HermitOrCrab/

hazel is climbing on the wood piece, vixen is half burried,(both in iso, because they are new), junior is on top of the fake log, kim is clinging to the side of the fake log, and bino kath, and hyper are inside the fake log.
its weird that all my crabs hang around the fake log, because there is loads of other space. im guessing its because it is the closest to both the food, and the water bowls.
crabs:bino, junior,kim, and vixen
dogs: ella, shannon
cats:milo, poppy
and two budgies: romeo and big bird
Rip: HOMER(who was actually a girl so i re named him marge)RIP kath hyper and hazel.

Your Shyness is apparently eating, Scooter is sitting at the window watching the world go by, and Zipper is in the conch shell. :) The others are buried.
