Thanks! Yes, they are quite fascinating!! And addicting!! It seems like every time i get to the pet store i have to stop by the hermit crab tank.... lol

Here is my set up- It is quite small compared to some people i know. Some people have 100 gallon tanks full of hermies!!

thanks!! Yeah, they love climbing around everywhere.

I know, it is sad to see people selling them as toys and souvineers instead of as living creatures. I hate it when i see them in painted shells and open cages in some pet stores :evil:

okiemavis- if you want, i can PM you some great hermit crab websites that tell how to care for them if you are thinking about getting some crabs =]

I'm so sorry about your hermit crab, markiee55. The reason he probably did this was that he was stressed. =[

Rockstar, I will do my best to answer you questions =]
