Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

Well, last night on my way out, i find this shell in my garage, and seeing as im a few miles from a beach or river, it kinda creeps me out when it starts running away. My mom says it must have been someones pet, becasue its pretty damn big for a hermit crab. I was gonna take it to the river or beach, but my girlfreind named it freddy, and now i kinda wanna keep it, one of those pointless pets, but what the hell.

Now heres the deal, ive stuck it in my huge garage sink,a nd made a littl ehouse for it and put water in it with a dry 89 crx bumper light platform, random garage crap. THese things are smart, every time i put something in teh sink near the wall, it would run over to it, and try to crawl out on it. I was amazed.... But what the hell do they eat.... lol. Ill probably get a tank for it and make a habitat for it, but what do they eat. Hrmmmm..... O well, had to show my fun, now that my license has been suspended and im sitting at home bored..... heres some pics....

they can eat small peaices of chicken or you can put a few pieces of dog food in there but they do get dehidrated....just put it in water for about 30 sec..no more than 2 min because they will drown...and always have a little bowl of water in there about a half inch deep ...

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

go to pet`s mart or similar places, they sell food or these crap, ops crab ;D in a little bottle.
my friend has one, you don`t need to put them in water or anything, they liked it dry ;), just put it in a container fill it up with like 2 inch sand and put a little dish with water inside., BTW once they take a dump it will start to smells like milk. :-\

lol, my dad had a pet hermit crab once. Its name was Dude.

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

i wish i had a hermit crab :-\

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

That's funny, but I have not a ------- clue what you need to do

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

get a sponge nad soak it in water the crab will drink from that. it's probably a tree crab since the ones in the ocean can't survive very long without sea water. train it to live in a beer can.

He sounds just about ripe, just go and cook the ----------er. Boil his ass, make yourself an entree. ---- you should be perfecting your cooking skillz instead of wasting money on a pointless pet.

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

I had one once, I put it in a old jar and stuck a worm in it. It died that night.. I didn't try it again, so listen to these fools. Do what doofnoil says "Train it to live in a beer can", or do what quadnie says with "cook that mofo".. or cook it and baste it in beer, those taste pretty good lol.

or make 5 carbon fiber hermit crab shells then bitch at the other board members because they don't want to buy the other 4 for $500 bucks a pop.

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

lmfao

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

reading the site is pretty funny

"got crabs?"

and on top of that the lady running it is like 20 minutes from my house in VA ;D

i like the carbon shell idea :D

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

those fuckers will try to escape every chance they get, so make sure you keep him in the tub or something. dog food is a good idea, or you can just head to the store and spend 3 bone on one.

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

you should call it mr crabs

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

my little sister had a few of those bastards, she never put water on their sponge so they died and guess who got to get rid of them? me, I hated the pieces of ----. when they die they crawl out of their shells and they're the ugliest pieces of ---- you could ever imagine.

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

How do they crawl out if they are dead?

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

If they had carbon fiber shells, do you think that they would stay in the shells?

Ever heard of the toilet? Just flush those mother fuckers!

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

I guess they crawl out right before they die or something

I buried them, didn't want to waste the water here in the desert.

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

wtf is molting? if you can go 2 weeks without water and I bury your ass alive then that's what you get for not dying within the 2 weeks you went without water

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

the proccess where they shed out the old skin, hard stuff, because they are growing and need a bigger exoeskeleton(sp). So they go out of their little home, molt, and go back in. Don't you watch the dicovery channel.

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

molting is when the animal sheds is shell and exo skeliton to grow a new one and they look like there dead for a while lmao you KILLED it lmao

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

Whatever, you broke me down a long time ago.. I'm just giving my honest opinions on hermit crabs. Just cause I grew up in a computer era before gay smiley faces and ---- doesn't mean I'm a robot.. my dog is a robot.

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

I doubt this fucker was molting, they left it on the table for 2 days before I finally buried it, when you flick it and it's hard is it molting?

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

only if it spits at you after you flick it a few times ;) ;) ;)

I don't know he might have been buried alive.

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

What the ----? Do you live on planet Arrakis or something? Conserve water - what is that supposed to mean? While you are off busy saving the earth, don't foget to reinstall your catalytic converter.. ha ha!

(Oh yeah I'm a dune fan so only those who watch the sci-fi channel are going to get that Arrakis part).

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

Too bad that hermit crab is probably dead by now :-\

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

Yeah man, what's the update on him?

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

I used to have cray fish, and they would eat earth worms,and all kinds of meat. And it's a land crab right? I used to use those fuckers for bait.

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...

Didnt realize these things actaully do stuff liek sleep and eat, lol, i thought they were more boring than that, ha, wtf and i talking about, its a damn crab....

Re:Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...
 

Why don't you torture the little bastard for fun.. like swap his water out with ammonia. I would end up getting bored and using him for target practice.
