Hermit Crabs-

 

I got some hermit crabs. At first I got two and that was cool. But when I got home to set up the tank, one was dead. They gave it to me already dead. So I took it back and exchanged it for another one. Then it came to find out that the one that I had originally (the one that didnt die) was sick when they gave him to me. Most of his legs fell off and he died. So I got two more, thus the ones I have now. Speedy, Spikey, and Peek. Originally I wasnt going to name them but it kind of just happened. Their names are based on either their personality or what they look like. Speedy- when he comes out of his shell, he runs, never goes slowly. Spikey (the original one)- has a spikey shell. Peek- is really shy and peeks out of his shell, but wont come out much. Ironically, last night, Peek pinched me. He wouldnt let go. He held on for like five minutes and kept grinding into the skin of my pointer finger. I tried holding him under warm water for a second but it didnt work. Finally, he let go. I admit, it hurt like hell and I almost forced him off, but that would have ripped his pincher off his body and probably kill him. I didnt want to hurt him, let alone kill him so I just rode it out.

Currently, there are no pictures of Peek. Like I said, he rarely comes out of his shell and the one time he did, he pinched me. Smiley

 

June and Ipyana-

 

June and Ipyana act kind of weird around the crabs. I don't get them close b/c I am not sure if the crabs can give salmonella to the birds. I am really carefull about that. But June and Ipyana just look at me and then down at the crabs.

Thanks. I give my hermit crabs a powder thats called plant and flower or something like that. But they eat fresh veggies and fruits too

aww cute, I didn't know they ate veggies and fruits.  actually I've never seen a hermit crab eat so I guess that's why I was curious.
