HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I am not pinpointing anyone in particular, but from what I have seen here and another forum I am shocked at some of the behavior. Give the lady a break who owns LHC with the emails & judgements. I just ordered some crabs from her and I wouldn't dream about emailing her. I realize that these things ...

I need to post the Cookie Saga here. It's hysterical (or at least, I think it is). (Note: the cookies referred to here are the old recipe cookies) My crabs LOVE Wode's cookies, especially the Sweet Stars (they like her dried produce too, but the cookies are the absolute favorites). I usually offer t...

I'm considering ordering a few once April comes, hoping they'll be shipped before November. I need some species buddies for my Indo, and I'd like a few more rugs :) they're my favorite, just don't tell any of my other crabs! I've been happy with my 5 Indos so far (3 of them are currently down, so I...

I have to say the crabs love Wode's cookies. I think the Sweet Stars were the favorite, but the others were definitely enjoyed. I currently have some of the "Three Bean Soup" mix in with them, and they've all been taking turns nibbling at it. I recently got the Harvest Box, which will be perfect for...

Just note - I don't think there's a live arrival guarantee on orders placed after 11/1, so unless the holiday special is an exception you're ordering at your own risk.

What a mixed group of crabbies! They're all looking good. Good luck with them!

Yes Aussie, that's Pilsner, my handsome and neurotic orange cat.

We've actually decided on baked-good-themed names for the Indos, So, they're the Indonesian Bakery.

Okay, I FINALLY received my LHC order. I figured I'd post pictures of the shipping container here since that's part of the "product review." I'll post crab pictures elsewhere later. My shipping email with a tracking number said that the crabs would arrive at 12pm EST. They arrived around 11:40am EST...

Just FYI - There was a delay with shipping (her son was sick) and anything that was supposed to ship today is now being shipped tomorrow. I don't know if this affects anyone but me, but I figured I'd give everyone a heads-up.

Which species had the mites? Just curious, since another member said the Violas had mites but the other species were clear.

Oh no! Maybe you should contact LHC and give her a heads up just in case. DEFINITELY contact her ASAP. While the crabs did arrive "live," their health is compromised. Since LHC is the shipper the fault (should) fall on her. It was HER responsibility to ensure the crabs were packed and shipped prope...

I (finally) heard back from LHC. Good news - My crabs are shipping out tomorrow, and should arrive Thursday! I'm SO glad they aren't coming Thanksgiving week, as I just found-out I'm cooking most of dinner for the first time. I'll try and take/post pictures when the arrive.

Unfortunately, I have not heard anything yet. Looks like I'm canceling, since if they're not coming next week it means they're coming Thanksgiving week or later. I'll email her, but I doubt it will make a difference. I hope everything works out well for everyone else! Sent from my iPhone using Tapat...

Did anyone here order in August? I order in the end of August (8/27). When I emailed her two weeks ago, she said that it would be about another four weeks before I received my order. She also said that she HOPED to send the crabs out before the end of November/beginning of December. If I don't rece...

You'll have to let me know how many extra you get because although I have the space I wanted to get some more at a later time. Might not be getting any more. Wonder what species the extras will be?? From what she's told me, you get two (2) free crabs within the species/size you ordered. No crabs wi...
