Did you know we have 9 Hermit Crabs???

We dont' have dogs or cats as pets, we have Hermit Crabs. They are easy to take care of and honestly don't really require anything at all, but food and water. Basiclly they just do their own thing. The kids really like looking in their tank and watching them walk around and do nothing or watch all of them pile on top of each other and sleep inside of a hollow log thats in there. We started out with only one that we bought at a pet store, and for awhile he had this whole tank to himself, but we read that hermit crabs like to live in packs so we started looking to buy another one, they are only around 10 bucks. Last september I was reading Craigslist and there was an ad in the free section about a pet store that was closing and the lady was giving away free hermit crabs, so I called and arranged to meet her to look at them, we told the kids we would get a "few", well when we got there we found out they were all the painted shell kind that my kids love so much and there was batman, and spiderman and all kids of different ones and before I knew it we had 9. But we love them and they are our pets. We don't really "play" them but we do get them out (not all at once)and let them crawl on the carpet and the kids LOVE it. Here are a few pics.........
