HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Oops, sorry! I forgot that the owner of that store just recently had surgery, so her store is closed for a few weeks. It should be open again before the end of the month.

I just wanted to share the links to a few good places I know of to order crab food. I have personally ordered from each one and they seem to be a hit with my crabs as well as the many others that I know who have ordered from these stores. http://desertsun.tictail.com/http://www.hermieskitchen.etsy.c...

I noticed we need admin permission to post in the Links category. I just want to share some links to a few different crab shops that I use. I'm not sure anyone else here knows about them and they are great places to shop in my opinion. Would that be ok?

That makes sense

The sphagnum moss sold in bricks at the pet store should be ok, but other than that I would avoid any moss sold at the pet store. You can also find safe sphagnum moss at many hardware or gardening stores such as Lowe's. Many people use the Mosser Lee's brand of long fibered sphagnum moss in their ta...

I'm in quite a few different hermit crab groups on facebook and I'm not sure that I've seen any connected to this forum, so it may not exist anymore.As far as dealing with the social media mess, I generally just avoid it lol I spend all of my time in my aquarium or crab groups, so I use it like it's...

I haven't posted here in almost two years, but I am back now just to say thanks to LHC! This is the first forum I joined in search of information when I got my first crab. I didn't know what I was getting into back then, and LHC helped set me in the right direction This was one of my posts from back...

I can see it from my phone and my laptop

I can't see it now either. Oh well, I'll figure it out later

That's odd. I posted it the same way I posted the others. It's just a collage of pictures.

I've had Carol and Miconne for 2 years, Gus, O'Hara, and Daryl for a little over year, the 5 tinies since June 2014, and Spencer for a little over a month. :) Here they all are, minus the 2 tinies I haven't seen since June. http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u399/Kirrie96/Crabbies_zpseec86df9.jpg

I have a couple of pairs that are really friendly/attached to each other like that. Gus and Daryl are one, and Carol and Michonne are another, but Carol seems to be really friendly with everyone. During the day time, Michonne prefers to sleep in a hole, but Carol will go and hang out with whoever el...

That's why I was so worried about her. It is possible that she was disturbed, though it seems like she made it out ok. I got O'Hara and Gus at the same time, at the same size. As far as I can tell, they have molted the same number of times and Gus is still noticeably larger than O'Hara. I know they ...

Here's O'Hara! And then my largest crab, Carol because I like to show her off

I was almost sure she passed away because she's a small crab and both of my large crabs went down to molt a month after her (they always molt together for some reason), and then came up a month before her. I thought it was weird that she was taking so long. I'm glad she's ok though, and I'm really h...
