HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I've ordered from both places several times and have loved my order. One of the few places on line that you can get the larger turbo's for larger crabs.

Just offer lots of special foods like scrambled eggs and other smelly goodies. If he is stressed, food temptations is a good way to get them to settle in. If it doesn't work, he may just need to molt or veg for a while.

Just let her know you take in LHC and if she ever decides not to keep it to please let you know.

I've been dehydrating hermit crab food for 5 years. If you are looking for a dehydrator I would pay more as my cheaper ones were a pain! Most of the cheaper ones have the fan on the top and it doesn't dry through all the racks as nice as the more expensive ones with the fan in the back. I use Excali...

So glad you got him....what a cutie!

Wow he looks good! Love his color!

Wow, so pretty!!!

Wow, he looks good!

I've done this for years with my crabs and they come right to the glass.

Working with my Viola's now, and one is really m...

When my male was up the two of them literally rearranged the tank every night; I could not wait to get up and see which large objects they had decided to relocate. Now that he is down (3 weeks and counting) the Female is still act...

I use a foam poster board, it's cheap. Mine was white and didn't like the white look, so put brown wrapping paper over it. One year I just let grandkids draw on it (: It works good. when I put it on the back where I have heater I cut 2 strips about an inch wide and put on back corners, then when I p...

I'd like to hear more about your strawberry's behavior. I am new to them, only had my two for about 6 weeks. One went under about a week after they came home. The other who is the female is so unlike any other crab I have or have heard described. She literally hates to hide; will not go under anyth...

Wow, love that color! My big one is more red and purple, but I have one getting big that is more the color of yours with the blue/purple coloring....hope he turns out like yours, that is a pretty crab!
