Welcome to my Crab Corner! I recommend you to get a few of these little guys.

My name is Addy and I love pets, especially cats and hermit crabs. My house is a zoo! :D We have 4 hermit crabs, 4 cats, 1 betta fish, and 1 dwarf hamster. I am 9 years old. In this blog, I talk mainly on my crabs, give you a weekly newsletter on crab events and extra stuff, plus I have pictures of my crabs and some care videos, which I'll upload soon. If you are a non-crab owner, I would recommend making the investment to see if you could handle a few of these cool crustaceans. The best place to get hermits is at an online shop, such as www.naturegifts.com or www.backwaterreptiles.com. If you don't know what hermits are, check out the next post. Getting them requires special care and also a lot of money. Once you buy all the stuff, you just need to buy extra supply now and then, ranging prices of about 15$ extra per month. I mention more on care in my other postings. Do you have the time each day to refill their food and water, and play with them? And what about cleaning the tank once a month? Do you have other pets? For example, a big dog could knock the tank off a table, a cat might try to eat the crabs. I'm not saying having other pets means no, (after all, think of what I do!) just try to be careful with having other pets. And do you have the money? When you get all the stuff, it cost about 175$ total, and could go up to 300$. Also, if you're buying a crab for a child, depending on how old they are, you'll probably end up having all the responsibility yourself. If you expect your child to do all the care, (These crabs are basically mine, no one else takes care of them, but my mom helps me with the harder stuff) they must be about 9-10 years old to fully understand the concept. Also, do you really want a crab or two? You must own at least 3 crabs-in the wild they live in packs of up to 100 and will suffer if they live a life alone. If you just heard they were cool and wanted some, you'll need to study more before you grab a couple crabs. If a hermit crab isn't right for you, it may be time to put down this blog for now. Hermit Crabs for Dummies is an easy find at a bookstore  or online and covers everything about crabs. Enjoy my blog!
