New Crabitat and some Lessons Learned

I heard that they had square aquariums at Petsmart and so I took a little trip there this weekend and sure enough, they did. So, I am going to invest in one later this week for my little guys to have a bigger space. Its a little on the pricey side, but I think it will be a good thing to do, because they will be much more comfortable. It is in the shape of a cube, so it is high enough, so that I can also add a second level for them to climb up on.

In addition, I was checking out the ingredients on the hermit crab food I have for them compared to another brand and found I was spending more money on hermit crab food that was missing some key ingredients that they need to have in their diet. No wonder they don't eat that kind when I offer it. Terrafauna Hermit Crab meal and cakes is a complete rip off. I bought the Jurassi Diet hermit crab food and it was a dollar cheaper and had better stuff in it. Lesson learned, I am going to be checking on those labels more often. It makes sense though, I check labels on the food I buy for myself to make sure I am not eating empty calories and crap, so it should be the same for our animals too. They do have "junk food" for animals too.
