HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hey Wolf, is there a way I can order the tanana smolts in a much larger quantity? My guys go nuts for them, but when I order it only comes with about 6 and that's enough for one day the way my guys eat it. D:

I haven't brought myself to feeding them the poop yet. My boyfriend thinks I'm insane for purchasing poop for our babies. :lol: He's made all kinds of horrible jokes. I'll be a frequent customer for sure, since I work so much it's far easier to buy the food already prepared and ready to put in the t...

I just made a purchase. I'm pretty excited.

Here are two pictures of him crawling around. I'll get better ones eventually.

Crabs are social animals, which means they have to establish ranks and see who's who in the tank. It's normal, and doesnt usually lead to violence, but I'd keep an eye on them. I've had a large PP repeatedly attack a strawberry until I was forced to seperate them. Jut provide more food then usual, ...

So, I finally caved and bought the large crab at Petco today. He is a male PP and very social every time I pick him up. He is about the size of my hand and enjoys wrapping his legs around it and sits like that staring at me. I couldn't walk away from him AGAIN. I'll have to get pictures of him tomor...

I'd try ISO for a week with lot's of shells and food and see if that helps. He may eventually switch and then the problems might stop.

My 7 PP's were active at around 4 in the morning, but since I added the 5 E's I see them all hours of the day. My E's seem to always be awake, and I think it's motivating my PP's to be awake too.

I liked reading everyones post.
Crabbies are so silly.

So, my medium sized PP the other night decided to drag food on top of the large tree I have in the center of the tank.
Not only did he climb all the way up with the food in one of his claws, but he started eating it at the very top of the tree and just left it while he slept on a lower branch.
