HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Yay Herc! Lol I really like his shell, very pretty! Do they still like the egg shell? Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that you have had more deaths in your family and injuries :( We have had one family emergency a few weeks ago, my sister in laws (I can't spell the word) but the major artery in her...

Hahahaha did I tell you about my sisters rabbit? I don't think I did, but anyway my sister had this gorgeous multicolored long haired rabbit named Angel because she thought she was a girl. Well one day she was brushing Angel and she found a big hair knot between her back legs that she was trying to ...

So this morning I found this in the shell shop: http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac232/roserichardson89/CE704CB2-BFD4-4E44-AEC3-3FEBD8F37433_zps0mcb5dga.jpg :cheer: http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac232/roserichardson89/7C1177A5-C1DC-4F10-B988-B14EF9465DA2_zpsjpun7qki.jpg And here he is!!!! It ...

Hahaha oh my gosh that's a lot of piggies! Wow you are a good person for taking them all in. I'm glad that he found love after all...even if it was with multiple girls lol I had my guinea pig when I was like 9 I think and she was a beautiful multi colored named named Minnie. I believe she may have o...

Hmmm Oh wait you must've because it had my address in it. It appears that only Cheez-It and KAL are up and the rest are M.I.A, which is good because Emily needs to molt. I can see where B.J is, not too sure if he's going to molt because he has molted recently but you never know, he could turn into a...

I got the shells today! :) They are awesome and sooo cute! Yes the packing was a little tight lol but you did a great job and they were safe and sound. I REALLY hope one of the baby crabs moves into the little yellow shell. Omg is it cute! I also took the biggest shell and put it in front of the hut...

Ooooh ok the egg shell idea :) you're welcome, I'm glad they are gobbling it up and they love it! I put some sand dollars in my tank to see if they will eat some calcium that way because they didn't seem to touch the egg shells in my tank. Grrrr. Thanks so much for sending them out and for the early...

Oooh ok lol oh my god I know! We had to find the emergency room in South Portland last week and it was so awful because like you said it is one giant maze and hardly any signs telling you where to go. I only know my way to the mall area and that's it. I am just not a city girl at all. That's cool th...

Augusta and Bangor are about 3 hours away from me and South Portland is maybe 20 minutes if I take the highway. I believe I know where the one in Sputh Portland is that you're talking about. Is it around the Maine Mall area? Do you live in Maine as well? I'm pretty sure I just saw KAL get into the f...

Oh wow he got out?! Lol that would freak me out, it's a good thing you looked! That's funny that he went straight to you, what a darling, cute little guy :) well I did hear on here of crabs ripping through screens with their claws before. Honestly I think they can rip through anything. Your screen i...

I had to share this with you, but since yesterday morning B.J has started a fashion trend of having a day shell and a night shell. Early in the morning he is in the shell shop and puts on this shell: http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac232/roserichardson89/5F66EA94-C78C-4C9E-BA06-27BEA076CF82_zpsyx...

Hahahaha that sounds like great entertainment! :hlol: that's good that he likes watching them at least. I boil the eggs and then peel off the shell. I try feeding them the egg too but they don't seem to like it. Not even sure if they eat the egg shell but I try. No I think you're right on the shells...

Wow those shells are very pretty! :) thank you! I'm hoping they will like them too, if not I will really have to break down and buy them offline. Maybe check the craft store one more time and see what they have. Darn picky crabs! Lol hmm I will have to try that calcium stuff. They don't like the cal...

Thanks

Oh yeah and (sorry for the multiple posts) you see how awkward the opening of her shell is? She won't even stay in it long enough for me to measure lol it's kind of D shaped I guess but like
I said pretty sure a half inch should be good. CheeseDoodle is the same size
