HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Recently there has been much discussion about overly-aggressive hermit crabs and the underlying issues regarding the aggression. Fellow member Eugooglizer and I have been discussing what on earth can be causing this excessive aggression. All of the Es in question are well-cared for, and in the care ...

I want to purchase 3 Ecuadorians from here, but am worried about them not shipping in a timely fashion. I would get them elsewhere but I don't have the money to pay any more since I just spent the rest of my money on things for the tank. Is there anywhere else with the same prices, or should I try ...

Email works better for him, I think.

As always, Brock has amazing quality and customer service. Cheers to my new tanks, interior decorating courtesy of Brock.

It looks like the USPS doesn't have restrictions on cholla wood to be shipped into Canada: http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/ce_003.htm Google around a bit though. Mail can be weird. There are restrictions on live plants, and since human error can come into play, the people checking the mail might think c...

Canada only allows choya from certified sellers. I know the hermit crab addiction does not sell to Canada (for choya) right now. I was informed about this from a fellow member and its not that choya can't be brought in, its that it has been taken away at customs by a few people. Its mainly for the ...

Hey don't get all bummed! We can make it work shipping to Canada..everything is negotiable! If the USPS aren't, I certainly am and can off set costs if shipping is a lot.;) Remember it's all for the wee ones! Let's keep our Canadian shell buddies happy too! I think y'all can see why he was so aweso...

I paid via PayPal. I'm not sure about his prices per piece/inch/etc but the above pieces plus shipping was about $45. Considering I've paid about $30 for an okay 18" piece (also online, price included shipping), I'd say this is a killer deal.

I would like to promote Brock as a cholla wood seller! If you want long, large pieces of cholla wood (even branched, which is SO hard to find!), he should be your first resource! I requested two large pieces (18-24"), preferably branched. Brock responded to my emails promptly and was very friendly t...

They are awesome! Your setup is really great, too. Lauren, you're a bad influence... I want fiddler crabs now...

Also, the mental image of them sitting with just their eyes and top of their heads out of the water made me go, "B'awww."

@ Jesicaaa I just noticed you have started a site in which you intend to sell hermit crab supplies/products, I'm curious.... Do you think it is, or will be, acceptable to treat your customers the way many of us were treated by LHC? If so, why? If not, why? haha Parrot, that's not my site and as far...

I'm not quite sure what the point of Kip's post was, but to me it shows that LHC was trying to fill the large amount of orders they had. I think it documented the LHC timeline fairly well. Kip also received his refund, which is good. As for the issues with her suppliers, I think we need to take into...

@Jeshicaaa, I'm guessing you're her new 'spokesperson'? No, I'm certainly not. If you actually read my posts you'd see that I've said multiple times I haven't ordered yet. I've never insinuated in any way that I'm affiliated with the site. I'm attempting to put in my two cents about the service I'v...

She took money from people for animals she claimed to have in stock, but then didn't get in for 3 months! And if you read through the first 25 pages, you'll see that she ignored her paid customers e-mails, usually until they threatened to file a claim against her with Paypal or their credit card co...

I think they're like deltona, it's a hit or miss kind of thing :? Have you ever ordered from them? A lot of the complaints on this thread seem to be things out of the owner's control. I personally don't want to take advice from people who haven't ordered, since they have as little experience as I d...
