Aaaah yes! Tis a beautiful day in the hermie world.

I am so glad to hear that he molted and regenerated his limbs. As far as what to do next...not much. Disturb him as little as possible and he will do his own thing. Once he hardens up and is active again, he will be ready to roll!

ty wendy,,,, and you are right once again , he is already coming out a bit , not much though, the only thing i did do was keep him in the damp moss like area in the tank , that way he didnt dry up , or not have enough water/hydration , to keep his gills, and new lil body wet as needed ,also i have just kept fresh applesauce avaible to him ,,, he has always loved his puree food, and when ever he ate like the fresh food , he would "crirp" to me , and i hand fead him. wendy it feels so wonderful that i could help him back to health,,, even though im still so ill , and doctors cant figure out EXACTLY what is wrong with me , those 4 crabbies , but especially him have kept my spirits high. and to beable to help/save him made my heart feel incredibally wonderful. thank you for being here for me through all this with the crabbies ,,, you and felicity really have helped me so much, and your emails help much as well , everyones posts make me have a reason to get outta that bed. i will miss seeing felicity in here though , however i did save the email addy she posted to us all.

ty so very much. hugs, kathy. oh P.S. i am getting married tomorrow!!!!!! i will have access to a digital cam , so im going to post some pics of the crabs , and the rest of our critters, we have a variety of animals here , plus ill add at least one or two of the wedding. hugs , love kathy.

Kathy, I've found calcium rich foods like banannas, carrots, peas and cabbage to be favorites of a newly molted crab...

Congrats on the wedding and I am so glad your little guy is going so well! I am too new at this to give any info, but congrats on all of the good news!

kuplakrabs · 12-01-2005, 09:28 AM

Married! Tomorrow! YAY

(that's the best I can do for wedding bells LOL)

I would love to see some pictues. I'll bet you are a beautiful bride. Are the crabbies going to follow you down the aisle and throw (or eat) rose petals? Maybe they can carry your train

Best wishes and happiness tomorrow-I'll be thinking of you
