HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Still down, huh?

Hey there Wode. Long time no talk. I lost my log in info for awhile hehe but I'm back now

I just made a $22 order from your store lol (including shipping) The little guys were getting low on food. It all looks great! I can't wait to pick what they try first

Yes but Kuza, the E is being aggressive towards the PP when generally, they only shove with other E's from.what I've heard.

It could be he is frustrated by not having an E buddy.

Still, I'd like to know what kind of salt you use in your saltwater Sodg.

What type of salt do you use in their saltwater?

cyanide? it's in apple seeds....

My medium does this as well. The giant craters left by her too big shell are certainly worrying when I think of my larger medium who is molting...and I have no clue where he is either. Each crab has it's own personality. I have the medium, Azula, who buries frequently, and I have some smalls who nev...

I'm not sure what the best thing to do in this situation is. On one hand, removing the problem shell may help but on the other hand...it may stress out the crab who is defending it, and even if he is a bully, it's still not too good to stress him. Perhaps next time you see him do it, put him in a ti...

Still nothing. can you edit the line for me with a space in the middle so I can repost it?
