Have you ever had one of your hermies escape from the tank? I have had
mine for almost 2 years and just 2 days ago, we found Bob, just
nonchalantly tooling around the house like he owned it. Crabbies are
very ingenious creatures and if there is a way to get out of the tank,
they will find it! If you have a crabbie escape, there are a few things
you can do to try to locate them.
- Check dark, damp places, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms and
closets. They will try to find a place where they feel safe and where
there is more warmth and humidity than anywhere else in the house.
- Place a nice smelly food that your crabby enjoys out in the
open. Place it on something such as wax paper, tin foil or paper so
that when he crawls on it, you can hear him.
- If you have other animals watch them. Cats and dogs are very
good at knowing when there is something around that isnt there usually.
If they seem to be sniffing around somewhere, or trying to get to an
area they dont normally go to, check it out.
- Also check under certain appliances such as refrigerator and washers. These are dark warm places hermies might like.
- Look up high. Alot of people have found their crabbies
scaling curtains and drapes. Anything you have that they can climb,
check it out.
