How Often Do You See Them?

Post by autumnfalls »

I am curious how often you all see your hermit crabs. Every day? Every few days? Never? :P I usually see Pumpkin and Russle every other day and sometimes every day. Every once in a while I'll catch turtle waking up as I'm going to bed, but he usually hides once the sun is up ^) And Splotch is active in spurts. I'll see him every day for a while and then he'll hide for a week. So, on average I see at leaste one crab every other day. How about you?

I usually see them everyday if not every othr day because most of them usually buried down.

Here all day long there are a few hermies scooting about in all the tanks. (except iso's) Sometimes the same hermies daily sometimes not.

I have a very large crabitat with a lot of crabs. So I see mine all they time. During feeding time they all come from everywhere snagging a treat and taking it off to eat. I will say that I do see less in the winter.They usually dig down and about ten or fifteen at a time will be up. Most of them are all up in the summer and all are very active.
