HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Love the tank! Cocoa and Disney, you were practically in my backyard. [emoji4]. Totally get the "kids got bored and I fell in love" bit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks! One of these days I'll snap my fingers and my husband will love the south enough to move there...until then I will hunk...

And I just used a lighter and screwdriver to poke holes in the dish drainer for the suction cups......

I don't know what your setup looks like but I was able to create a pretty cool and spacious second level in my tank using a plastic dish drainer and some locking suction cups. I also got the Flukers Spring loaded bamboo bars to use fo reinforcement on the corners. However, I cut the dish drainer to...

Thanks! They use the ladder constantly. They even sleep on it. but I also put a coconut fiber mat on the back of the tank and they use that to get to the second level also.

My daughter laughs...she knows I despise cooking. I feed the family bc I have to not bc I like to [emoji12] and yet I'll pull out all the stops for these crabs.

They can throw down with the best of...

Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk My husband was grumbling last night bc I made him eat leftovers but I fixed a sliver of chicken and a fruit medley for the crabs [emoji12] Se...

From what I understand the Ecuadorians do need a little extra room, in particular they need a lot of substrate bc they really enjoy digging. I'm still new to hermit crabs as well and have an Ecuadorian. They are all different personalities but from what I gather the Ecuadorians tend to be a little m...

Look up Info on Ecuadorian hermits. That is what they look like to me. However, the red one is not the same species and might be a purple pincher hermit.

https://vimeo.com/177548773 you know you got it bad when instead of doing homework, you sit in a dark room at 2am videoing your crabs...my husband is starting to get jealous and wants to be reincarnated as one of my crabs [emoji23] http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160804/d883ce8c524139efe84848f9e9...

I didn't realize I had two different kinds until I got home to Indiana. After having done research on them, I now know a huge indicator would have been the two distinctly different type of shell openings they were wearing and their color. But we were rushed and I didn't notice. My little E is very s...
