HCA: Hermit Crab Association

We all started out that way and made improvements as we can. The best thing is that you are trying to do the right thing and that is all that matters. I have a few recommendations for food. My favorite places are all on Etsy. This one is a friend of mine, her shop is called 2OldCrabs. Here is a link...

Oops I didn’t specify, I have the 11 x 35.

So cute!

You have some great pictures! I haven’t got any good ones to share yet, they’re kind of blurry. They are so precious! [emoji3059]

That’s what I have on mine. The top of the tank frame on mine is very wide, so I slid it up under the rim and it helped raise it a little bit. If you don’t know what I mean, I can take a picture of it to show you.

Here’s all the care guides you’ll need.

Aww! So precious! [emoji3059] You’ve done a great job, thank you for saving him. [emoji7] I love your molt journal. [emoji3059]

I’ll link you to the substrate care guides and you should be able to find the other care guides pretty easily from there. If you need a link to anything else just ask. [emoji4] https://...

Your little friends are so cute! Everyone started somewhere, what counts is your doing the right thing for them. [emoji7]

Use vinegar to wipe around their tank, ants hate vinegar and it removes their scent trail they leave behind. I had an ant problem a few years ago, I wiped my floors with vinegar/water and then I soaked paper towels in vinegar, rolled them up, and put them all along the base trim in our kitchen where...
