Hey I have been looking for some hermit crab fourms I can stay at and personally I think these are the best, well organized! I am getting a new hermie in a few days. My last one died about a year ago and I couln't bring myself to get another, but I am going this week maybe tommorrow to get another one!!! But I am going to spend a little while watching them makling sure which one to pick I might get 2 if they both get along, it would be easier cause they already are used to each other. I really need to clean out sabastians old cage, but if I get 2 I am going to need to buy a tank they are extreamly cheap at the petstore here. Does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of hermie to pick?

You should get a minimum of two, because hermit crabs live in large groups in the wild. They don't like being lonely! Make sure you have a glass aquarium (not a wire cage, and plastic isn't recommended for long periods). It's up to you what species you want to get.

purple pinchers are the most popular (i have 3), but i think strawberries are pretty
