    Hermit crab tip...

    Small tip but I just figured it out. In the past I've had some hermits fall into places that they couldn't get out of. Today I had it happen. The crab fell in between my pvc framework and the glass upside down. It had nothing to grab ahold of to right itself so I dug out my tackle box and got some fishin line. I fed it down to him and he wouldn't mess with it. I pulled it out and went to my freezer got a piece of silver side and a trout hook out of my box. Very small hook, then I had a problem getting the line where it needed to be so I attached a clip on sinker right above the hook and put it right where I wanted to first time. The crab grabbed the silverside and I turned him over. Off he goes.
    Sweet tip I know....but hey it worked.

    Forgot to add....the reason I went through all this trouble is cause I couldn't physically reach to get him at that particular spot....in the back right corner between a rock and a hard place if you will.

    I paid 3 hard earned dollars for that sucker and I'm a schmuck for an animal in need.
