HCA: Hermit Crab Association

It's pretty cool, glad you found something you liked!
Do you have craft mesh or something for them to climb up into it more easily?
Your tank looks great!

They should be arriving in the mail today or tomorrow, not sure.

I had someone here to take care of my crabs, they just fed them every day, and removed old food. If you don't have anyone, then I would just recommend a bowl filled with dry foods of all kinds, that should keep the variety going. I have also observed that chia seeds sprinkled on the substrate makes ...

I would say yes, if it's on the safe list, it's definitely great for the crabs!

I second what GotButterflies mentioned!

I find images on the web, or use some of my own, and then run them through the image cruncher.
If your image is too large, then you can reduce to file size by going to a website that converts the image size.

I only drilled holes because the guide here on the forum said to provide ventilation.

Awesome pictures!
Although, you may want to cover that wheel in plastic mesh, the crabs can snap off a leg in the metal mesh.

Oh, didn’t realize that you took them right after decorating.
Yes, mine run and hide when I put a hand in the tank.
