My gf got me a hermit crab for my birthday.I named it Akhbar Mullah because of his turban and radical fundamentalist views.lol crabs
Does it do anything interesting? They always seemed even milder then turtles.
yeah, give it another shell and they're all exited and inspect it like crazy.They love to climb too.
Name it Biscuit.
So did she give it to you more than a year ago, or did you just pull up some random picture off Google?Also, fail for giving living creatures as gifts. I hope you had wanted one.
Pulled off google, couldnt be arsed to take aq picture when they all basicaly look alike anyways.And I've been telling her that someday I'd make a little compact tidepool aquarium, guess she thought it was a hint.

>>166463lol spot on
is it edible?
>>167952everything is edible. Though it may be advised that you not eat some things, they are edible
Hermit crabs... They're terrestrial, right? Abandoning living underwater and all that?
lol crabs
i was given a hermit crab for my bd also.i used an old fishtank and set it up for crabs.a large upside shell for water and them to lounge in. a small plastic lid to hold food. had lots of extra shells to keep the wars to a minimum.they were entertaining somewhat in a crabby sort of way. dont expect tricks or them to jump on your bed like a dog
I've got a tank setup for mine too. Keep the environment moist with a spray bottle (you can buy a hydrometer-thingy that sticks to the inside tank glass for <$5). Also they are social critters. Mine got much more active when I got him a buddy. Now they chill together on the branches in their tank and dig holes all over the place. Don't forget to change the sand every couple of months!Enjoy your new buddy. :D
