We start off on an Island far, far away. This is not a regular Island though. Its rather magical. The waters are a beautiful shade of light blue that sparkles and shines in the summer's sun. There are beautiful, vibrant fish and hoards of sea turtles. Far off on the south side of the Island called Juhlica you hear the faint sound of music. However this music is not normal. You follow the sound while the sand forces its way between your toes. Finally you reach the beautiful music but there in no band to be found. There stands a coconut tree, several fallen coconuts and a few split coconut halves. Laying near the coconut tree you ponder to yourself about where the music originated from. Then you hear it again. *Dun, Do, Deh, Da, Do* It sounds so close. Possibly a bongo or a drum but where is it coming from? Then you see it. The coconuts laying in the sand are vibrating. What could it be? Grabbing a a washed up stick you proceed towards the coconut. *Do, Da, Dee, Da, Do* You nervously flip over the coconut and to your amazement there lies a tiny Hermit Crab keeping a beat on his shell. This is the first discovery or Hermies.

[1] That is Larry the Hermies Mascot. This is also where your Hermie will be.
[2] This is Larry's Health Meter. Scroll down to learn more about it.
[3] This is where your Hermie's name and sex will be.
[4] This is your Hermies habitat.

Note: Although these pets are not role play based their health will deteriorate if you fail to show up to the shop and post once in awhile.

-If you fail to show up to the shop or an event within 2 weeks and your Hermie is an adult it will simply pass on {die x.x}
-If you fail to show up to the shop or an event within 2 weeks and your Hermie is a teen or a baby your Hermie will go up for adoption. {You have been warned}

[1] Follow all of Gaia's TOS.
[2] Do not steal any images that are on my thread.
[3] Do not Spam.
[4] Do not fight, beg or whine. It is prohibited.
[5] Do not quote anything from the first page.
[6] Post all orders.
[7] You must send trade after you have posted. Do not worry though as I will not confirm the trade until you have received your Hermie via mail.
[8] Do not ask for a Hermie when they are not available.
[9] Absolutely no advertising! You can, however, mail me and ask to be affiliates.

User Image

[1] You may post your Flatsale Order Form after I post 'Go' in Red.
[2] The flatsale is different then most regular flatsales. You will be choosing your Hermies by which coconut it is under rather then an egg number. {Sorry no previews}
[3] Its a first come first... you know this already, right? xD
[4] Do not edit your flatsale form just to change the coconut number, you may however edit any other parts of the form. If someone has already taken your first choice just choose another cocnut and repost your order form.
[5] Do not post a form if you do not have the gold to afford it. If I do not receive your trade within 1-2hrs after the flatsale then I will have to assume you have decided to not take a Hermie and either give the Hermie to the next person or put it up for adoption.
[6] Your Hermie's name may only be up to 6 characters long.

Q: How do I get a Hermie?
A: You get a Hermie from either Flatsales, Auctions, Raffles or Special Events.

Q: May I chose the gender of my Hermie?
A: You may not chose the gender of your Hermie as it is already pre-decided. You however can purchase a Drag Potion and the gender will switch.

Q: Can we be affiliates?
A: Of course! Just send me a message asking me to be affiliates. Also include the code to your banner.

Q: Can a friend and I Co-own a Hermie?
A: I'm sorry but no. You might confuse the Hermie as to its true owner.

Q: Why has my Hermie failed to grow?
A: Clear your browser cache and refresh the page. If your Hermie still has yet to grow then I'm probably a little backed up. Be patient please. I'm only one person. razz Or You have simply failed to participate in the thread and your Hermies growth is at a stand still.

Q: How are we to determine the gender of a Hermie at the flatsale?
A: Good question! After you have chosen a coconut and successfully obtained it I will tell you the gender of the Hermie you have chosen. So on the order form you can write 'Hold off' and I will tell you the gender so you can decide on a purrrrrdy name.

Q: How does my Hermie get fed?
A: You have to come to the thread and tell me to feed your Hermie. You have to have the food already in your Storage Bin or you may purchase more food at that time.

Q: If you buy and use a Doomsday Potion on your Hermie will it turn zombie?
A: Sadly no. Possibly in the near future there will be a potion created to turn your Hermie into a zombie but as of yet there is not. The Doomsday Potion simply brings your Hermie back from the dead. So it will turn back into its original color and be AAALLLIIIVVEEEE!

Q: Who do I send the trade to?
A: [.soki.] and only [.soki.]

Q: What is a Hermie Storage Account?
A: A Hermie Storage Account is something that comes along with the purchase of your Hermie. It holds extra items that can not be used all at once. It also holds extra food so it does not spoil.

Q: Can I purchase two hats?
A: Yes. Obviously your Hermie can only wear one though. The other may be placed in you Hermie's storage account.

Q: What if I want to put my other hat on my Hermie?
A: Well just post and let me know and I will change your Hermie's hats asap. However please keep changes to a minimum. I already have tons of work razz

The Health Meter located to the left of your Hermie allows you as the owner to determine how healthy and in how good of a mood your Hermie is in. Watch Larry the Hermie below to see how simply feeding your Hermie can bring up its health meter. Food, Toys and Medicine are all ways to improve your Hermie's Health Meter. Below we will go in to more detail about your Hermie's health and wellness. Watch Larry below. I have given him a Juicy Red Delicious Apple because is Health Meter was low. He has taken a huge chunk out of that apple and also his Health Meter has increased.

Hermies are fairly easy pets to take care of. However if you decline to properly feed and play with your Hermie it may die.

[1] Hunger- Your Hermie loves food and at the Grocery Store we have plenty of your Hermies favorites. *note* To feed your Hermie yo know have to post in the thread letting me know what food item to feed your Hermie. This is to keep participation up

[2] Happiness- Toys and accessories are an essential to a Hermies Happiness. You can feed your Hermie but it will also need toys and such to keep it happy.

[3] Emotes- Various emotes will also show up at times. They will be pretty self-explanatory.

[4] Sickness- If you fail to pay attention to your Hermie or don't feed it, it will die! If your Hermie has a faint green glow around it, low health points and an explanation point emote then it is most likely sick. To fix this you will need to have or buy a Green Potion and tell me to give it to your Hermie. See Larry below.

User Image

[5] Death- Yes your Hermie(s) can die. So take care of them well.

Breeding Hermies is a wonderful and exciting experience. Each owner must go to Gullivar's Potions and purchase a Bottle of Love. This will make certain that your Hermie's are in the right mood and frame of mind to mate. After each of the two Hermie's have taken their respective potions the mating ritual can continue. There will be anywhere from 1-4 Hermies, depending on the amount of owners and the fertility of each Hermie. However each owner may only keep one baby. The other two shall be put up for adoption. {This is too keep the amount of Hermies to Owners fairly even and fair. } Each baby will come with a cert. Breeding takes between 3-10 days to complete.

Love Meter- The Love Meter is located directly under your Hermies breeding grounds. This meter is to show you how along your Hermies are in the breeding process. This meter will fill faster if you and your partner show up to the thread often. Role-playing is not required but it is really cute and entertaining to read. Don't be alarmed if your meter doesn't go up when you show up to the thread and are active. I am very busy IRL. Your meter may jump. Who knows. razz
