HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I'm not sure what you could do about the water pools. I've heard that some people use a splash guard to stop water spilling over, or you could just take the bubblers out. Another option that I use for constant humidity is a humidifier because it doesn't involve spraying and drenching the substrate, ...

There are two articles that can help you to determine the amount of crabs you can keep in your current set up. 1. http://hermitcrabassociation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=852643#p852643 2. http://hermitcrabassociation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=836451#p836451 Thanks- I've already seen these but I didn...

I know one thing about worms. They can or seem to tolerate many pesticides. We have worms on/in our golf greens which are treated with many pesticides. I’m going to be super paranoid that I’ll get something in the crabitat when we start spraying again during the growing season. I don’t know if the ...

My nanna has a worm farm, and I don't know whether the castings are safe. Any ideas?

If you do get rid of them, you could sell them to someone else online. I'm sure many crabbies would gladly take in your unwanted shells!

Hello! I'm wondering what number of crabs I could comfortably fit in my tank. I want to adopt some more! :crabbigsmile: My crabs are Aussies, so that's why I'm thinking that I may need more space. I have 3 crabs right now, all around 1.5 inches. I don't believe that they grow as big as most species-...

Their names are Cocoa, Mr Pistachio and Lily. I have had hermit crabs for 2 years now. I am currently looking to adopt s...

Just saw your post. My crabs hate turbo shells, I have a whole stack of them abd never seen one of my aussies change into one. They love oval shaped shells. My crabs favourites: - pheasant shells (firm favourite!) - whale eyes (moon eyes) - Ton shells - land snail shells (this one here is a firm fa...

Hi! Here is an HCA care sheet on Aussie crabbies (it has small section about shells). Also, I think the shells you picked out are smaller than 1.5" inch openings. On a couple of the descriptions, it says the shell openings are a little over 3 cm, or appx 1 1/8" openings. Make sure you check the siz...

Hello! I'm a new user but have been using the information on the HCA for a while now. I have 3 Aussie hermits in a 65 gallon, who are needing some bigger shells. I have found Babylonian shells to be popular but was wondering what other's have had luck with? They are needing some new shells that have...
