New here

Hello! My name is Elissa and I live in NJ. My sons were given 2 hermit crabs by their aunt and grandmother while vacationing on the Jersey shore. After reading a bit about them, I've just invested in what I hope is a proper habitat for them. I had no idea hermit crabs had so many requirements. Now I know why the crabs I had as a kid never lived very long--I was doing it all wrong!

Anyway I have lots of questions so I'm off to post them in the appropriate places!
