HCA: Hermit Crab Association

So quick question. Is it safe to give the hermies air dried strawberry tops. Like the strawberry too leaves I left in a little cup for them for a few days and now it's just dried from being left out. The tops tend to dry anyway when I put them in there but I'm not sure. I just want to double check b...

Oh and it couldn't have been pps. I was so nervous I forgot that the first molt is the marker. They all molted once if not twice. They were all rescues one even had its whole large pincher missing. And 2 or so days after getting them they would molt. And the one missing it's pincher, Reggie, had reg...

Hello again, and thankyou for everything! I'm going to do everything said here. I'm going to calibrate the gauge tomorrow. I'm going to have less hermit crabs in the tank, and I'm going to do a full change. Once I do that I'm only going to get 2 more medium crabs. And yes there is only two of the 6 ...

The side with the heater also has the net. It keeps it dry and from getting moldy. I spray the net sometimes. Or just behind the net on the glass.

Thankyou you so much. :hug: :hug: Ok. So first off. How do you calibrate a humidity gauge ? I will get on that right away! Second no I haven't seen bacterial issues in the substrate and if anything its not wet enough. No black or greyish, no water at the bottom. When I move it the top it's loose and...

1. What kind of substrate is used in your tank and how deep is it? Ecco earth and sand. Like 7-8 inches deep. The sand part is lower and as it mixes into the EE it gets higher 2. Do you have gauges in the tank to measure temperature and humidity? If so, where are they located and what temperature an...

Hi, really really sorry for responding so late. I appreciate the information and I have successfully installed the bubbler. I weaved it through my net and it's so perfect! http://imgur.com/ZWiPvanAnd I'm not worried about them escapeing because I made a small hole in the mesh wire and wiggled it ins...

Hi, really really sorry for responding so late. There's been alot going on. Just wanted to let you know I appreciate the response and I haven't used it for months. Because I didn't want to use it until I asked. So thankyou. I'm going to throw it out now that I know. Thankyou.

i have this probiotic spray from all living things. i got it because it said it would prevent bactieria and stuff and it was for hermit crabs then realized i fell for the "lets smack a label and say its for hermit crabs to make money" thingso my question is; is this product safe or even neccessary? ...

if you arent sensitive, or it does not interfear with any other medications you may be taking i suggest ibprophen because it helps with fever and swelling. i hope your able to bring the swelling and fever down somehow. and we are all here for you! i understand the longer term stress thing. ive been ...

It's probably from all the stress too. I know I get really sick when Im really stressed out. Just relax for a little. And to bring down a fever try putting ice packs under your armpits. It works! That's a trick I learned in the hospital

Personally I did not follow this method when I got my hermit crabs. In fact I didn't iso them either. They went straight from the store to the main tank and recommend conditions. The buried immediately came up ate and buried again soon after to molt. I have had no deaths and they've all molted at le...

your in my prayers too. as long as thats ok with you. <3
