Default Hermit crabs
Eeeeeeeeeeeeh! I want I want I want! I've been reading up on these, think I want Ecuadorians as I love the idea of hyperactive little crabbies chirping away to each other! Has anyone kept these? I've got the room for a fairly large aquarium type tank, I'd like to keep 3-5, just wondering what anyone else thought of them?

We had hermit crabs at uni, they're fun to play with offering them new shells to see if they'll switch

Used to look after a couple at colege, they were awsome, would only see them walk about if placed into a shallow pool of water tho, btw the ones we had at colege tended to nip, and hell did they have big pincers I'd say you should get some Cyberfae :wink:

Oh yeah, watch them hermmies, they will have your arm off quicker than you can say 'ouch'



No, thats just a design on the top of the hide Steve uses. !!!

At a recent show we done, Steve took the hermies, tarantulas, frogs, i took geckos and bosc, but it was the hermies that got all the attention !!
