Saltwater & Gnats

     After checking on my little roommates once again to make sure all the levels were perfect in the crabitat, and that they were behaving, I saw a gnat! Ugh, I hate bugs... Well, thus begins the fight of all things summer (my lest liked season). Thankfully I already learned how to fight them with the use of salt water.

     Misting the tank down for humidity reasons can also prevent unwanted critters when using saltwater, or so I've heard. I have never had this problem before. As everyone knows you can't use sprays or repellents around or inside of a crabitat as it will kill your crabs. So, I'll give the saltwater a go and see what happens plus my little strawberry friend loves saltwater.

     On another note, everyone is still sleeping to which I'm not surprised, which means that no one has met face to face quite yet. I'm hoping for the best though as the new edition is pretty calm from what I can see and Prada can't really hurt him without her larger claw. Chloe hasn't left her hideout yet and I'm pretty sure she doesn't even know he is there. But I have given him a name: Louis as in Louis Vuitton~ Hooray, lol. Welcome to the hermie/designer family ^--^

     I gave them an extra food dish as well and added to their stable diet with betta food to enhance their coloring and goldfish flakes along with their hermit crab food. I plan to buy turtle freeze dried shrimp as well, a cuttle bone for calcium and new things for them to climb on/ hide in tomorrow.

Until next time,
