Wow you guys..thanks so much!!! You guys are a wealth of info...It is really nice to find a place like this. I was telling a neighbor that I found this forum and it had so much info which wasn't in the book my daughter got. She told me "but it's a crab". Yea it's a crab that is a living breathing little guy that my daughter absolutely is in love with....well and I am getting there myself!!!! We want to do right by them!

Unfortunately since there isn't information out there where we purchased t he crabs...my daughter immediately handled them. We have had them for little over a week. Neither of them have buried or seem stressed at all. They were climbing all over the choya wood. My daughter did figure out that one is shy and she doesn't handle him as much. She says he is ok with her, but any sudden movement and if someone else comes in, he gets nervous. But her other one, seems to love being out and about..so hopefully it is ok?

Thanks again for everything..I also found the FAQ in the sticky which is a tremendous source of info!! I kept trying to go to the archives but the link didn't work..Thanks so much!
