    Default Any unwanted Hitch Hiker Crabs.

    As per title, I will pay postage if your not in the NW.

    They will be a bit of sport for my Mantis.

    He is getting bored of the run of the mill Hermits and Snails, which is his normal wild food.

    I will add as may be i should of done on the first post.

    All i am wanting to do is give him his normal habitat, it wasn't his choice for his home to be picked up from the sea bed and rammed into a poly box and sent to the UK.
    I have had him for 3 + years and want to keep on looking after him the way he deserves.
    He has become a very good pet if you can call it him that, he feeds out of my hand white bait and is getting very bored of these too.

    Thanks for reading this.

    Regards
    Richard

    I have some old pics, but not that good. I will get some done over the weekend if he is out playing and not asleep behind his trap door.
