Re: Worried about my hermit crab
I was just wondering if the overhead heater would dry out the tank. I haven't put it all together yet but my mom mentioned that to me and I have a lot trouble keeping my tank humid.

Re: Worried about my hermit crab
Thank you for your help. I'm upgrading my tank to a 75 gallon and keeping my old one as an iso tank and I'm going to use my friends old platform so they have more room. I gave my Hermies some Hamas for dinner and when I went to clean out their cage they were gone! My new tank has an overhead heater ...

Re: Worried about my hermit crab
What size tank should I get? My friend has really cool one with platforms but it's a 75 gallon. I'll stay away from the pellets but are there certain foods that they tend to like more than others?

Re: Worried about my hermit crab

I used to have a very small cage with the Cacli-sand and it dyed my Hermies so I changed it out for sand with a thin layer of gravel. As for the hermit crab food, is there other food I c...

Re: Worried about my hermit crab
1. What kind of substrate is used in your tank and how deep is it? Is it moist? There is about two inches of sand but I know now that that's not enough so I got more. Now there's about 5 1/2. 2. Do you have gauges in the tank to measure temperature and humidity? If so, where are they located and wha...

Re: Worried about my hermit crab
Sally did have a surface molt because I found out recently that I didn't have enough substrate for her dig far enough down, but I fixed it for my next molter. She has stayed in the exact same place for three days and I haven't touched her because people said to leave her alone. My cage is my brother...

Worried about my hermit crab
My oldest hermit crab (Sally) just molted. I was really happy when she came out and started moving around, but now she's not moving. Her little legs are stuck together and her antenna are all bunched up under ler legs. She was always very active and she liked to pinche, but now she won't even pinch ...
