HCA: Hermit Crab Association

From my list on live aquarium plants, this one comes up as safe for fish, amphibians, reptiles, crustaceans, insects, and snails. It also is non-toxic to domestic rodents, cats, and dogs (but recommends that they are not purposely given them because some may carry parasites ) So my best guess would ...

I have shells laying all over the crabatat, and I will change them regularly often, I have collected 40 shells, I keep 20 in the tank at all times, but it's fun to change them out and move them around because my crabbies will go to them one by one flipping them around and looking at each one, my sma...

Do be careful with canned fish meats, they can obtain high levels of mercury and other heavy metals. Plus some canned meats has foreign ingredients and some are high in iodine, I personally don't give mine any canned foods, with the exception of a high quality high protein canned cat/dog food, but i...

Every once in a while a piece of sand, coco hust, substrate will get caught up in the Shell causing an irratation the crabby if they can't get it out will change shells to try to rid of the irratation, if he continues to switch shells, I would start to worry, but if he's acting fine, I wouldn't worr...

Any honey that is raw honey will work, if you live in the West coast US, many Fred Meyer grocery stores carry it in their health food section, the most important part is that it states that it's raw, or unprocessed, not filtered, and/or make sure it hasn't been pasturized in some states you have to ...

Skymall007 "I have 5 pp" I didn't see anywhere in your post as to where you are located. I live in Kent, WA. I started out with my first crabby a little over a year ago.
