HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I heard people on this site have coconut crabs as pets. they are HUGE! How and where do you keep them? I dont think you can fit a cage big enough for them in your house, so do you have like an outdoor pen for them or something? Sorry if this is a stupid question, i just need to know! lol

ok=] How much money would the Oceanic Salt mix be? And, would i be able to get it at Petsmart?

ugh i cant find it on the website! but yeah, your right. I should probably use the mix salt water stuff. How would i measure it correctly? Can i just buy a 1 gallon bottle of Distilled or Spring water, and then put the correct amount of mix in? ahh this is gunna be annoying, im very bad at math=[

thnak you=]] I hope they like it!

I have been giving them scrambled eggs once a week, but now what im doing is giving them some one day, putting the rest in the refrigerator, then heating the rest up, and giving it to them another day. Are they ...

Watermelon is OK to give my hermit crabs right?

ok,, so if im baking it, do i crush the shell first, or do i just put the 2 halves in?

dont i need to like boil the shell too?im sorry, im VERY new at this......this is off subject form eggs, but can i give them green/red peppers, peaches and plums?

Do i have to do anything special to the eggs befor ei give it to them? I was just gunna scramble them.......

ok thank you=]

I read you can give honey to your hermies, but does it matter which kind? Does it have to be organic or can it just be regular honey that you would put in your tea.
