HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi all. Turns out its harder than I thought it would be to check in and look at the pictures...for a few reasons, some too personal to mention here. It's taken me this long to be able to look at them and I wish I could find other pictures I had of my Exo Terra tank because I still have it (empty) an...

I had 14 PP's for awhile (a few years) and when my health started going downhill, I couldn't keep up with all the things I normally do with the crab tanks. I was frantically searching for a new owner, and thanks to wodesorel, a new crabby momma was found. She drove 3+ hours to pick up my guys, the t...

I have and use ZooMed red river shrimp, but my fave is Freeze-Dried Bio-Pure Krill by Hikari, and another krill that comes in large bags on Amazon. I can't remember the name right now, but you get a lot of it for your money. Another fave of my crabs is squid! I buy frozen squid at a local oriental m...

So the second mamma held her eggs too long and now they stink and she's dropping them in the sand and eating them... I tried to drop some int he water but they are not viable at all. I guess I missed my only chance this season while on vacation :( I'm so sorry to hear it, Kuza. I've watched with gr...

For offering food and calcium that he can easily eat, you might try using a coffee bean grinder, a new one with no coffee residue. You can powder the egg shell, cuttle bone, dry shrimp, and other dry food sources and maybe add coconut oil or honey to make them stick to whatever you're feeding him wi...

Tonight, the last of the frozen rattlesnake, krill, pecans, dried fruit mix with coconut and oats, wodes cookies and flower/greens mixed for salad, and sesame seeds. :) Ran out of moose poop. Is Alaska Hermit still open? I haven't been able to contact them. Oh! And "worm dirt", lol. They love it! Dr...

Just got my Colony Box today and it's amazing! It was packed full of great stuff and my babies went nuts over the flowers and greens in their salad bowl! I highly recommend Wo's wonderful garden foods!!!

Glad I saw this! I almost picked up one to try it out, but now that you've reviewed it I'll stick to my usual brand. Thanks!

Amazing cholla!!!! Thank you so much! The piece in the middle is spectacular!!! I can't wait to work it into my new tank :D Please don't stop supplying your wonderful cholla wood....it's much better than anything I've seen in stores or online. :) http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g66/wyldaeval/DSCN8...

Chelsea, I'm sad to hear you had such difficulties building your 150gal. Unfortunately, if I lower the gallon size for you in the request, another person will want 100, then another w/ 75 and we might as well just all post in the same forum then. We might lose the opportunity to bring in more big c...

He looks wonderful!!! Happy, healthy...and fast! So glad it turned out well for you both!

Today Coral came up and turn into a blueberry. She is bright purpley blue. So to celebrate her inablity to not change every 2 months (first a viola, then a blue....well... still a viola). I made a full 4 course meal as she has eaten over %40 of the food from last night. That amount of food I put ou...

Today we are trying dried food as it keeps longer (as my molters are supposed too be up soon). First up, we have a starter of dried salad (dried carrot, kale, cucumber and a pinch of parsley sprinkled on top). Next course is a vegan dry steak kibble (Note: does not contain any meat). It is a simple...
