HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Thanks Callalily, I won't feed it to them. The nutrition label was ripped off when someone else ate it, so I won't risk it. I did feed it to them once before your reply and they didn't even go near it. Oh well

I haven't found anything on this site after searching and looking through the lists about liverwurst. I see that regular liver is okay, would liverwurst be okay then too? *doesn't know the difference*

Could it be that they need more tannin because of their sometimes brown-ish coloring?

Beautiful picture by the way

I am so jealous D:!

Your set up and crabs are AMAZING. Goodness... Love the pics <3<3<3!!

Update: Biggy is still isolated, I'm yet to decide what to do with her. But, i thought I saw Crabby up and out today. I was wrong. Red (my other PP) is wearing Crabby's shell. In the hole where Crabby was was what looked like Red's shell (I can be sure, but it definitely was an extra shell.). Crabby...

Hmm.. thats a good thought. I'm probably not giving them enough minerals. I'll see if I can buy some of the mineral supplements you suggested ! Thank you!!

Congratz on Robby's recovery!!

EDIT: Was it this you were feeding them? http://www.hermitcrabpatch.com/Natural- ... /su100.htm

Thank you for the replies. Kathy: I wish I could get another E, and have been on the look out for a while, but alas the Petsmart near me has changed its hermit crab tanks into fiddler crab tanks! And the stores that do have hermit crabs don't have Es ): If I did get another E I'm not sure if I would...

I've posted about my aggressive E before- but now its just gotten too bad. I heard some chirping and looked over to the tank and what do i find? Biggy my E had dug down and found my molting PP Crabby. I try tapping on the glass to get her to move but can't, so i get my mom to pick her up and she put...

Dish 2: Red peppers, apple, carrots, and cornbread (cornmeal, corn, egg, and milk)

Dish 3: Crushed cuttlebone and eggshells

Oh okay, thank you!!

Thank you for the guide! Its very helpful

I was wondering though, can I get all this information in the reference book you listed? I plan on looking for it in the library as a reference to my report!!

Main tank:
Celery leaf salad with chopped tomato, raisins, apple, and some beef to top it off along with a side dish of cuttlebone.

ISO tank:
Cooked carrot, corn, peas, and beef dashed with cuttlebone.

Its not the best, but i think I've much improved since what I had been feeding them !

This is good!! Next time i go to walmart (and actually have money LOL) I'm checking their fake plants-- that's cheap! Lol all I have is wood in mine
