Out for a stroll!!

Ever since we got our Hermit crabs we have really enjoyed watching them and playing with them! They are real cute. This is the bigger one he is the most frisky!!

We've got Crabs.....Hermit Crabs!

Imanni for the longest time wanted to get a Hermit Crab. I did not know that the little creatures required so much work! I read more and more things about them and they are so complicated. They must have a temp between 70 and 80 degrees and maintain a humidity over 70%. Anyone who knows Davone knows that the house temperature is always around 65 degrees. So it is hard to regulate the temperature for the "crab-itat". We have two crabs ... a bigger one and then the smaller one. ( The little one blends in with the wood in this picture you have to look close! )The bigger one is on the left and the little one is the shell in the middle the shell at the top is just for them to play with! The little one I hardly ever see and the bigger one is a little more Frisky!
Here is the bigger one out for a stroll in the "crab-itat"! He is kinda cute! We have not named the little fellows yet. We can not tell if they are male or female and in order to tell they would have to let you pick them up and look between their legs. I am not making it up! Here is the website that explains all about them : http://www.hermit-crabs.com/. We will think of some names for them during family home evening next week! They will have to be unisex for now!
