HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Thanks

Thanks, I'm slowly getting better. I've been reaching out to some people in the modding community I'm in and it's helped a lot. Also, happy birthday!

Thank you for the kind words. I'm not sure if I will return to crabbing because I don't feel I have the ability nor the attention span to consistently provide them with all the things they need.

Thank you

Thank you for the advice. I don't have the courage to talk to my parents about my issues openly, same goes with my sister since she'll make fun of me. My friends will likely see me as strange, but hopefully not. The main people I can talk to are people in the minecraft modding community. I made an a...

Thank you for the advice. The past few weeks have been a lot harder since I've been thinking about all the fun times I had when building their enclosure, so kind words are always helpful.

Yeah, that's the main issue I'm having. The right half of my tank and especially the substrate around the pools is almost perfect consistency.

Already looking a lot better! Next step is to make the water dishes deep enough for them to submerge. You probably also want a digital thermometer+hygrometer which you can get from walmart. those tend to be more accurate. You may also want to provide them with more shells. EDIT: I see you have spong...

Yeah, my humidity has been at 99% ever since I added the playsand. I do mist the tank, although I try to limit this to once a week.
