thanks guys! I guess i never really thought of them "tasting the air" before. I know snakes do that, but never thought of hermies doing it. so they can only see certain colors? I never thought of that. Poor little dudes, they live in such a pretty environment in the wild (beach, jungley stuff etc) a...

as the title suggests, I have a bunch if random questions about Hermit crab's senses and stuff. 1.) do hermit crabs Hear? If so, do hey have like, a little ear hole or something? If not, do they have any sense of sound eg feeling vibrations, or anything like that? 2.) I know hermit crabs smell with ...

Yeah that is what i was thinking, that they would get freaked out. I would move the tanks so they could see eachother, but mine is a 20g on a tank stand, and i have a hard time moving very easy when its not full of sand LOL :hlol: but since its on a tank stand, there would be no room for the 10g. Th...

Well, I guess this is where this post should go, Not sure :) Anyway, My little brother is wanting to get some hermit crabs of his own. They will be in a different tank, most likely the old ten gallon we have. So my question is, Could my hermies and His hermies "Visit" each other? Like, could we put ...

oh yeah! ive never actually thought of rabbit food before. you can find dried crickets in the reptile isle. dried shrimp in the fish isle. moss is the anphibian/turtle section. all the good stuff is ussually nowhere near the hermit crab stuff :P :lol: Just as long as the stuff is on the safe food li...

it really depends on the crab himself, and the size. I agree with the above, it will probably be a couple months more. they do take thier time!

i think it's pretty normal for them all to molt at once :) when one of my crabs goes down, they all go down! i guess they just get bored when one of thier biggies goes down, so they decide since they have nothin else to do, might as well molt! :hlol: recently, when i got Summersault a few days after...

ooo yum! LOL make sure you let us know if they like them! i will have to look into those!

i change my water every other day or so, depending on if they secided to have a swiming party the night before. if they had a swimming party or if there is dirt in there, i change it later that day :) but i am planning on changing the water every day, it's just that my crabs have been down so long, ...

is the ammonia toxic to crabs too? i did'nt get the amonia stuff, because i didnt think there would be ammonia in our water

silly thing. it says at the bottom " Tip: to detoxify the ammonia released from choramines or produced by fish waster, use AMMO-LOCK" :roll:

OK, i've been using disstilled water for almost a year, and just now found out that it doesnt have sufficient vitamins. so yesterday i went to petsmart, and picked up some dechlorinazer. so, i got API tap water conditioner. it says it removes the chorine and breaks done the chlorimine bond. we have ...

Oh i'm so sorry! Sometimes these things just happen.
