HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Now I found Dragon dead :( I don't understand what is going on. He must've come up from his molt last night and he was over by the water dishes. He was out of his shell but he was right next to it and his shell was kind of wedged in by a water dish. He was all freshly molted too :( maybe Smog attack...

Lol he sounds so cute. Ouch busting your chin open doesn't sound fun at all! Glad he had good care :) my nephew is the same way. He was learning to crawl and somehow he must've got past us and to the top of the stairs and he fell down the stairs :( luckily wasn't injured, just a couple bruises. Then...

Oh wow that sounds horrible! Especially for it to happen in a public place. You did get very lucky! I have been stung a couple of times but nothing like that. You know I don't think I felt it either lol and you're right, the needles you feel more! Aww well I'm glad it's getting a little better than ...

Oh...my...god. You had seahorses??!! I I absolutely love them and I would die to have them as a pet! What beautiful and interesting creatures!! How do you get your hands on seahorses cause I know darn well that no pet stores around here sell them. Wow I never knew that crabs could have different col...

Lol I didn't even notice that they have different colored nails. What other colors are there? My kids are crazy no matter what, vitamins or no vitamins lol I am constantly telling them to calm down and sit still. My step son has ADD so that doesn't help and my step daughter....well I wondered if she...

Hahaha that's so great! :lol: my crabs are far less interesting now. They don't move much. Yesterday Hurby kept flipping himself on his back and leaning out of his shell an just chilling like that. Not so much that he was naked and if he got spooked he would shoot back into his shell. Is that normal...

Lol that would be funny if that was the reason that she was molting so much! It's a sign of a healthy crab, right? :) Smog has been chilling and climbing around and Dragon is still buried. I'm crossing my fingers he is molting. Drives me crazy that I can't see! I slapped my hand yesterday because wh...

I'm glad they had good check ups :) it's good to be a busy mom! My step daughter has gotten better. I made sticker charts for both of them and it's been working well. She only has one meltdown every couple of weekends so that's not too bad. Wow your crabs look good! I'm surprised Hearts is molting a...

He's probably the coolest guy I have very seen! he does look bigger too!

I just noticed that Dragon disappeared this morning and now he has made himself a burrow. When I first realized that he was gone and not in his usual hang out spots I was like ok, hands off, no digging for him lol and then I saw sand scraped away from the glass in one spot and I can see where his bu...

Omg I can see my step daughter doing something like that. I would be so mad lol she's 7 and I'm really not sure what has been going on with her lately but she has been a huge brat and everything is a battle with her. She used to be like that, then she seemed to get better, and now she has digressed ...

Thank you

Lol that is too funny! I had Smog and Dragon bickering over who was going to sit on a stick and Dragon literally kicked Smog square in the face. Thank you for the website, I will have to check it out. It's hard to tell now because the crabs knocked my hygrometer into their salt pool and now it's not...

McKenna died today I think she was having a really rough molt. Checked on her this morning and she saw she only had one leg and her two little claws and I thought she would make it but then I checked on her this afternoon and she was gone.

So good news, McKenna will be okay! Well...as long as she survives this molt okay. I thought she was half dead this morning but turns out all she wanted to do was molt http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac232/roserichardson89/C36DB50E-BB8C-4844-BE4F-1348DAB07317_zpsrqcg8kiz.jpg This is all that rema...
