HCA: Hermit Crab Association

left over sashimi and cantaloupe with bee pollen

I take lots of back up cuttings of wax begonias, spider plants, and wandering jew. I have two pots of pothos outside of the enclosure that I try to keep multiplying. I have a few pots of opuntia cactus. I'm trying to make room for seedlings. So far there's evening primrose and snapdragon growing ev...

Believe it or not I got these little ruggie looking crabs October of 2014! You can only imagine how teeny he and his friends were then! lol This whole time I thought they were E's but recently I've been starting to question it because they don't look anything like my Ecuadorians I purchased online. ...

LHC is offering free shipping! Part of me wants to order some violas. Please internet slap me and remind me what a terrible idea it is, because most likely I will never receive them

I don't know if its my fogger effecting my bulbs or what, but I seriously go through them super fast. Can anyone recommend a particular brand that will last a little longer? Thanks in advance

I have a mixed tank, and all my crabs get along really well, E's included. Maybe its luck, I'm not sure? I try to provide a variety of food that all my species prefer each day, and they have plenty of space (still pile up on top of each other anyway lol)

Hi! Can you please help me identify this little guy? I got him at the pet store and not quite sure what he is. Sorry for the repeat pictures. Thanks guys! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v357/jkatex/Hermit%20Crabs/Screen%20Shot%202016-08-30%20at%204.01.55%20PM_zps6ihicrjk.png http://img.photobucke...

Left over t-bone steak, bee pollen, rose of sharon, and mysis shrimp

I still don't have my order. LHC has stopped responding to my emails.

What kind of crab were you trying to order? I may be able to get straws or E's.

My line of thinking was that real ocean water would be better than synthetic, because its natural. I guess its like how some moms believe breast is best and others opt to mix formula for babies haha. At any rate, I've tried both and my mixed tank of hermies (mostly straws) have thrived the past thre...

A picture doesn't do this tank justice, you have to watch the video. A lot of thought clearly went into this one...

I figured I would share, because I hate mixing instant ocean water. Petco sells filtered pacific ocean water in a 5 gallon box. I'm not sure about petsmart. Here is the link so you know what you're looking for http://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/imagitarium-pacific-ocean-water and I believe Dr. ...

Has anyone ever ordered from this website? It appears they have straws and violas on their order form.

Its so funny that you post this, as I was just researching how to dry it out. Unfortunately, its difficult to buy online bc many of the retailers add cane sugar or other dangerous additives. You can dry out honey yourself.. it just takes a while. You have to make sure to spread it out as thin as pos...
