HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I also have a Uth on the back and one on each side of my tank to keep it at 84 degrees

I never thought mine ate either until I saw them on the night camera. I change mine every two days usually

Recently I had to move my hermit crabs to a room that has no natural light. Should I get them a daylight lamp?

All my crabs came back from molting. So excited that all my three small ones successfully made it thru their first molt with me. My large crab named hulk went down two days ago, really hoping he makes it. I’m trying to prepare my self for the long months ahead. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181...

She changed into a shell that is way to big for her. When she tucks in you can’t even see her anymore. But she’s been eating all day. So glad we made it thru the first molt

My littlest crab is back after six week! And I can finally move her over to the 20 gallon I had set up weeks ago. I had kept the 10 gallon going hoping she would come back up and almost gave up last week bc I needed to move it. So glad I didn’t give up and go digging. Now I realize how long it truly...

Way to go! It seems like a ton of work, best of luck to ya!

Yah I’m pretty sure it is. It’s 12 inches wide and 30 inches long. I’m already wanting something bigger though. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Man, you have an eye for design!

That’s what I figured to, so that’s why I put the rocks under to. I guess it’s a learning curve.

I do also have my pools doubled up theirs only about a .25 inch space that I filled with rocks on thee sides. Don’t think my littlest crabs could fit in between their but didn’t want to encourage it with sand. It’s just a test run. See how it works.

I’m not sure if it’s a big deal or not. My pools are larger and heavy. And was worried my little ones would dig under them. Figured if I use rock it might stop that. I’m worried they will get crushed if decided to molt under there. I’m a newbie at this so just testing it out. Sent from my iPhone usi...

Yes, trying to prevent them from digging around or under the pools
