They will also hunt down pin head crickets and wingless fruit flies.

Anyone interested in trying fruit flies can PM me. My cultures and supplies will be available once I've sold my frogs around mid month.

Pretty active during the morning to afternoon, only 1 dead Vampire. They seem to be enjoying the waterfall I set up. They also like the body size holes to hide in.

Also, the Red Devils all hunted down a tadpole I threw in there. It was scary watching it get walked all over by them.

[Warlock]

Any intention on breeding them? I heard it shouldn't be that difficult if kept in a stable environment.

Crabs are a mystery to me, still need to learn more about them.

Mine are still in a bare setup. Just white paper towel soaked with water at the bottom 2 soaking dishes (freshwater) and a food dish (the crystal light lids- THANKS TIM!). Eating well on just freeze dried foods and flakes. Using 1 1/2 inch pipes for hiding places. I still haven't decided on a set up. Crabs are all very healthy and active. Keeping the enviroment humid is key. Since, I've had then in a bare set up. I've been able to keep track of their feeding and activity to ensure they are doing well. These guys have eaten just about anything I put in there. With 6 crabs in each tank, I fill the food dish (Crystal Light lid). In the morning it's gone. I replace the white paper towel at the bottom every other day (lots of crab poop). They get a daily misting. I really need to get a good terrarium set up for these guys before any start molting, so they can hide from one another.

yeah being settled in my get them molting quickly, all my hermits molted within a week of being in a decent terrarium
