Late Night Stroll

     "I see you~!" Prada was out and about last night, tasting a bit of the boiled egg I place in their food dish yesterday. She seemed to like it which made me happy and Chloe ate a bit as well. They climbed around (as much as Prada could) and I tried to take a couple pictures but the lighting was horrible so I'm not going to post them up. I still hope to get great images tomorrow which I can't wait for :3 
     Chloe discovered the second level last night as well (soap dish). She explored it for some time, seemed to like it and I realized I needed to fix the burlap net so she could climb down safely. I hope to make a larger second level but first I would need to buy a larger tank such as a 20 gallon or more. I do plan to buy one soon because a 10 gallon just isn't going to cut it after they molt and grow. I can use the 10 gallon to separate my crabs when they are in fact molting. 
      Even though its May I find that my crabitat is staying on the cooler side. I have been using the heating lamp I purchased and it is working but when it's on I find the humidity falls which sucks. I tried the heating pad but the one I bought didn't stay onto the side on the tank and I returned it. I'll have to solve this issue fast. 

Until next time,

Why a blog?

     Never in all my life would I have thought that I would own a crab, two on top of it. But now that they are here I'm sure they're not going anywhere. I have two small crabs at the moment, Chloe and Prada: named for their shells and my sisters love of fashion. I did have another before these two, however, named Hermes but he was a fighter and so after placing a question on Yahoo!answers I thought it best to take the advice given to me and return him to my local pet store. After peace was returned to ten gallon crabitat I realized that as much as I hear Hermit Crabs are an "easy pet" it's not completely true. 
     
     I am always searching up new things for my little roommates (diet, substrate, shells, etc.) and wish I had someone to ask directly. Thus my Hermie Diaries blog was born. 
    
     Plus, it'll be nice to have a spot where I can show off my crabs and see other peoples as well :3

Until next time,
