Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / January 2007rats and hermit crabs
a friend of mine who owns three (old) rats has told me that he also owns hermit crabs. they can live for up to 15 years and there is a whole community of people who have them as pets. they grow up to the size of a softball and he swears that they can recognize their owners and have unique personalities. it's not for me, but i did find it very interesting to learn. > a friend of mine who owns three (old) rats has told me that he also owns > hermit crabs. they can live for up to 15 years and there is a whole [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > it's not for me, but i did find it very interesting to learn. Hermit crabs aren't for me either but I have seen them at the pet store. They also like to change shells often, they are social but they will fight if there are not enough shells to go around. They like to climb and walk about their habitat and even have food preferences. I guess you could say they are somewhat cute. ;)  SignatureJoanne Owned by 23 rats.

He's a beige broken hooded, could also be considered a mismarked bareback. He's doing great too. I really didn't think he would have lasted this long but he's a tough one and so loving and smart too. When I first put in a litter pan, he wasn't interested in it. In fact he was very upset with it. When I put my old girl Bijou (34m) to live with him, she needed her litter pan as she is completely trained. Well, Mister soon realized what the litter pan was for and is now litter trained as well. Sweet! SignatureJoanne Owned by 23 rats.

I remember someone on Pet Rats Canada who had them, and she set them up with hammocks and everything. Her setup was awesome. They do require extensive research though, because they can suffer with problems if they do not have the perfect environment. I looked them up after seeing the pictures on PRC and found that there is more to them that meets the eye if you want them to live to their potential lifespan. > a friend of mine who owns three (old) rats has told me that he also owns > hermit crabs. they can live for up to 15 years and there is a whole [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > it's not for me, but i did find it very interesting to learn. ...and heres me wondering if a Rabbit could live with Rats...LOL Crabs?
