Hi, I'm new to crabbing and just thought I'd share

I bought my 1st in December and now I'm hooked. I have four. 2 boys 2 girls. Squirt, Scooter, Juju, and Frisky. They are so amazing to me. When I brought home Juju a few weeks ago, she was wondering around the tank and Scooter was following her. Well they got in a corner near their hermie hut and Frisky was there. She must have been in a bad mood or something cause she just kind of shoved Scooter, which she's never done anything like that, he didn't mind though since he was more interested in Juju. Then the other day they did something else that I find funny. I have this basket with suction cups (it's actually supposed to go in the shower) on the side of the tank with a plant they can climb up to it on. In the basket is some sand and coconut substrate so they can bury themselves. Well any way I started looking for them the other morning and found all 4 buried in it, or at least partially buried since there's not that much room. It was just funny how they were all packed down in there and now that's where they're at when not running around. Thanks for letting me share.

Welcome to this forum!

It's amazing what crabs do. My little Neptune loves to change shells (he's stopped now, seems like he's finally made up his mind). After coming up from his molt, he was wearing a different shell everyday!

Hello!

I'm getting my first hermit crab in about three weeks, I can't wait! I'm just not sure what to name him...
