HCA: Hermit Crab Association

So when I got my hermit crabs I didn’t know you had to calibrate the hygrometer.Well,I did it for the first time last week and it turned being 20% off!Luckily it was 20% low,not high,so I’ve had really good humidity this whole time when I bought I was having trouble.But just imagine if it’d been low...

Thanks!I’lol probably just find some plastic tupperware container to use,I’m currently using circular Tupperware containers but I don’t like the way they fit.I want something that fits together and doesn’t have gaps in between.

I was at Dollar Tree and looked in the pet section and saw this double plastic dog bowl.It had two sides and was slightly elevated.Do you think this would work as water dishes?I have a 20 high.Would I need to bury it or just make ramps for it?Any other suggestions are appreciated too!

Wodesorel,the closest place to get hermit crabs is 1 1/2 hrs away and I have to go on a ferry to get there and I can’t drive and I know my parents won’t take me:(

I want to do a second level if I can,I might have an end with more substrate and an end with a little less and do the second level on the lower end if I can.I also don’t need as much substrate because my crab and the ones I’m getting are all small

I just upgraded my crabitat to a 20 gallon high,the crab(I’m ordering more as soon as my new tank is set up) isn’t in there yet.I need good ideas for diy decor!Like diy hides and things to climb on.And I would like to make a second level for a shell shop and maybe small moss pit but have no idea how...

Ok thanks!I was just scared he’d fall and hurt himself.He about gave me a heart attack,he doesn’t have a name yet Monkey it is,lol

My crab somehow climbed onto the screen lid of his tank.He is hanging upside down from it.He doesn’t even have anything to where he can get up there and I have no idea what to do and how he got up there.The closest hint to the top is atleast 4 inches from the top and it’s a glass tank sooooo......

I had three hermit crabs and two died to PPS so my one crab is by himself for now.The closest place to get hermit crabs is about an hour away and they are kept in TERRIBLE CONDITIONS(it’s where I got mine because there isn’t anywhere else) so I don’t want to support them at all.Whats halls opinion o...

I ordered the 17x6in Ultratherm!I’m excited for it,and for the relief of knowing my crabs won’t get cold!

Ok!Thanks!

So just the normal green ones are fine?

I’m buying a zoo med heater for my 10 gallon tank and was wondering which one to get?Would the one made for 30-40 gallons make my tank too hot?

I bought an API water conditioner and it says 1 ml per 15 gallons so I’m not sure how much to put in one gallon(I use gallon jugs to store my water) so I was wondering if it’s possible to over de chlorinate it jut in case I put to much.

Are the fake plants for aquariums safe for crabs?I want my tank to have lots of greenery but I don’t know if the fake plants are safe?If not,what types of fake plants are safe?
