HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Crabs aren't very good hunters, so it's best to serve it dead.

And I found out recently my crabs love honeycomb, too!

They're so nice! Gorgeous crabs.

I love the smiley face barnacles! What a character!

Also, the E with the messed up eyes must have been missing one before. Slowly, they will be the same size.

Beautiful crabs!

YOU'RE BACK.

Thanks, too.

If you busted out the bottom of another 'tat and then put it on top, it would add an entire tanks worth of height. :lol: Of course, if you decide to go 'tat busting, be careful when busting the glass out of the bottom one! Then, you could use aquarium glue to connect it to your current 'tat. The onl...

Today, Valencia, one of my ELHC Violas, was walking near the glass and scratching at it so I thought I'd hold him for a while. :lol: Then, I decided to give him a little bit of organic peanut butter! :D http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad17/schumaker93/IMG_8818.jpg He was really gentle, as I was a...

I have a Canon EOS Rebel XS. Love it very much.

I've noticed it lasts for a few weeks or so, and then the shell goes back to dullness :/

Tonight is salmon boiled in coconut water, placed on a bet of fresh lettuce. Coconut is also on the menu, as well as organic Cheerios and honey.

Dragonfruit, too!

It's all just a matter of preference. :wink: EE hasn't been proven to cause any detrimental effects to crabs. :) I have used it successfully for many years, but I've recently tried out the new sand-EE mixture with smooth aragonite sand. :glasses2: I don't think my ratio is 5:1 sand:EE, however. :lol:

I have two questions for everyone who has such luck with cicada skins. :lol: 1) Would anyone be interested in mailing me a cicada skin or two in return for one of my food products (under $3.00)? 2) Would anyone with enough access to cicada skins be willing to mail me some (in bulk - around 15 - 20 s...

Sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky.

This is the exact kind of thing newbies would be looking for. A simple, easy-to-use guide. After they have started small, they can expand larger if they want.

Great job!

I can't find any here!

So far, we have these new listings (compiled with the old ones): Almond Anchovy Bee pollen Bloodworms (freeze-dried) Blueberries Catfish Cheerios (best when an organic brand is bought) Chicken (raw or cooked) Chicken bone marrow Coconut Corn (on the cob or pieces) Cuttlebone Dandelion (leaves and fl...

I have used both of those in the past. :lol: The second link is one that I started using, but the crabs would eat the entire thing down to the metal, and then it was exposed to the humid air and would rust, eventually breaking. :roll: I am currently using the first link, and so far, there are only a...
