    New Housemates

      

    Hermit Crabs!!  There are actually only three in there, the rest of the shells are empty for potential changes.  The jar in the back is a homemade humidifier, because they need at least 80% humidity.  I really don't support the hermit crab industry (it is completely unregulated and hermit crabs have particular needs that are easily met, but most people who get them don't know what those needs are--it's a lot like the puppy industry!) but these are from a guy who has had them for several years but has started to have regular travel requirements for work.  He's gone a lot and asked if we would be willing to give them a home.  So, here they are!  Mug, Mig, and Meg.  Two Caribbean crabs and one I'm not quite sure about.

    Alternate tank view.  We're slowly phasing out the painted shells because they're not good for them.

    Thanks for showing us your crabs.

    I like the paint job on the shells. That's pretty snazzy.

    Very cute! I love hermit crabs, just don't have the room for a proper set up, so I admire them from afarSmile
