Baby Pictures
In honor of North and Nocturne recently celebrating their 5th birthdays, I'm posting pictures of them as joeys. These pictures were taken by their breeder well before I got them.
Since he's older by about a week and a half, I'll post Nocturne's pictures first. You can tell it's him by his low-slung ears and pointy nose.

In this picture Nocturne is on the left. The other glider in the picture is his sister. Gliders are often born in pairs.

Current Crabitat
I'm posting some updated pictures of the crabitat. I was trying to remember how long they've been in the 90 gallon tank and I think it's been about two years. I started with a 10 gallon tank and quickly progressed through a 29 gallon and a 55 gallon before upgrading to the current 90.
Everything in the crabitat functions really well now. I just have to do a bit of daily maintenance plus the water changes a few times a week. I do go through a lot of dechlorinated fresh and salt water. I'm using Lock & Lock brand plastic storage containers as water dishes. I used silicone to cover the ramp into the water with gravel so the crabs have easy access. The moss pits are always popular. Some days there will be up to 8 crabs spending the day in the big corner shower caddy. The plant mats zip-tied to the front of the moss pit shower caddies works well to disguise them and also provide some climbing fun.
My crabs continue to be very good eaters. In the pictures below I served them scrambled eggs and dates, two big favorites. There's been a lot of shell changing going on lately. Monkey see, monkey do. If one crab changes shells the others all crowd around to get a look at the shell that's been abandoned. It's been a few weeks since any molters have resurfaced. There are a few crabs I'm expecting to come up from molting soon but they like to take their time and worry their poor old mom.
