HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Thanks guys. Fluffy: I can't wait to get a pic of Pocito Tito next to Hermasaur. That will be fabulous. So far, he hasn't dug down. He's just hanging out, in the cholla, dangling for the plants, etc. I just love him, love him, love him. My family has already made it clear that they are sick of hear...

Wow! You seem to be amongst an abundance of adoptable crabbies there!!! I dont see much of it here in Washington! I adopted a crab about 2 months ago.(she found me off of the HCA!) He is a very healthy PP- quite the character, and Im basing this judgment on the fact that he as mysterious as a Unicor...

If I may post some photos: can you tell me if this is armored or not????? :D http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh608/meandthegalaxy/th_SavedPicture33_zps21e61c9b.jpg http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh608/meandthegalaxy/th_SavedPicture38_zpse8a2e963.jpg http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh608...

I know, right!?!?! I started researching this- I know Giga has one. (AHHH ONLY IF I LIVED EVEN CLOSE TO VIRGINIA!!!) but I dont understand how to tell the difference.

Pardon my ignorance but can anyone please explain to me, in detail, what an “armored Indo” looks like, and what the difference between a ‘regular’ Indo and an ‘armored’ one is ??????

Chicken Gizzards!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW, I have never seen ALL of them troughed at the dinner dish like I did last night!!!! I had to make seconds!!!!
(I put acorn squash and bug-n-nuts in there too.. no takers)

I just turned 40...... Ouch! that really hurt to say out loud......

Wow chicken hearts? Really? The crabs like those? I guess I should think out of the box for them more often than I do. (yuck) Jenny I don't know how you managed to not check your email lol. I really hope that she spent today getting her boxes and such ready for shipping. Temps here are already in t...

They are not sad. It's "human" to think that way though. I think what you are seeing is your crabs getting used to their surroundings. When you first put a crab in a strange habitat "tank", they are active, running around, discovering, then they just STOP. And that is not a bad thing. Crabs are pre...

We had a single PP in a 10 gallon. Once he molted he exhibited behavior that we thought was "happy." He had a complicated tunnel system going, he was always digging, climbing, doing balancing acts, exploring, I mean he was a busy little guy even sometimes during the day and he was usually visble ev...

I just asked myself this same question today as I was running around trying to find new stuff for them!!!! How do I actually know if they are Happy? and from who's perspective am I getting this sense of happiness from? I can only go down my check list of "needs" and toss in a bit of extras that I ha...

I know Bridg. I'm sOOO nervous!! :faint: UGH! Im sitting in my 8am english lit class- quite literally restraining myself from checking my emails on my phone.... :clock: Um, isnt today Columbus day???? And wouldnt that prevent ANYTHING from being sent via mail???? Even prepared for shipment? I am ne...

I am telling myself to not get overly excited as to prevent myself from suffering any disappointment.....
But my heart is doing this
And this
Outwardly though I'm simply doing this

..... I would not surprise anyone if I whipped out the baby name book now hu?

:hlol: I know exactly what you're talking about! My Tammy crabbies are bonkers! :hlol: Bless their little hearts though I wouldn't have it any other way. @jamesr: molters produce a pheromone that the others smell and it produces a chemical reaction thus sending everyone down town all together... Or ...

Just curious to those owners who have/had Large or Jumbo's in the tank with teeny's and smalls.... Did you ever happen to notice that the largest of your crabs and the smallest of your crabs got along? The past few days I have noticed that Bonnie and Bash are almost always together. They sleep toge...
