Question
Katie, Is it OK to take the crabs (in their crabitat) outside during a warm spring or summer rain? It seems ideal, but I have not seen this mentioned on any info site so I am just wondering... Also, my children (the proud hermie caregivers) would like to know about the organic herbs in our garden: can the hermies eat mint, oregano, basil etc.?  Thank you, MKH

Answer
Yes!! That would be great!!! Try to do it when it is just a light misting though. I think if there are no pesticides and you dried them first they would love them...but don't use the ones out of the bottle. They also love oak leaves dried which makes me believe they will love the dried organic herbs from your garden.
