We actually just brought two home from a beach shop on our vacation to Tybee Island this weekend. Each of my girls, 8 and 11, picked one out and they are sharing a large crab cage we purchased there. Hermie and Hayley. LOL.
This is the first time they've owned them and they are so far doing well. I have owned two before and one only made it a few months but the other lived two years.
We are feeding the ones we have now some food the store gave us for them. I seem to remember giving my one that lived longer some fresh fruit, maybe banana? It's been 15 years so I don't fully remember. I also spent more time with that one, letting it crawl on my bed, misting it regularly and in the winter using a lamp to keep it's tank warm. It was actually in a 10 gallon tank with lots of huts, rocks and caves.
