HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Yes! Someone on the Facebook page of this forum suggested them the other day and I ran out and got some because it was genius! They come in a 4 pack from JoAnn Fabrics....you could find them elsewhere but they were cheapest there and since only a couple sizes in the pack work I didn't wanna spend a ...

Do we know where the brown corner pieces came from? They appear to be upside down rock looking pieces but can't tell...

I also get my Cholla from bear paws on etsy...they are awesome. I've been buying from them for 2 years and I have never been disappointed.

For those following along on here...I just started a new thread that I can use to document everything from my new tank build to the progress of Bucky. It's called Adventures in Crabbing. I will continue everything over there. Thanks for following along!!

I was absolutely terrified the first couple of molts. I have had my crabs since July 2014 and I'm actually not sure how many I've gone through now...my crabs like to bury so they are down more than they are up and they can't possibly be molting every time. I know they all have though because their s...

I don't ever actually worry about it. I might wipe down glass with a paper towel when I change their food every few days bc it gets sandy then I really hear them scraping along when they walk but other than that I just let it do its thing. It cycles for me. If the tank is around the same temp as the...

I have 4 crabbies out tonight out of 6 in my big tank...Sheldon (yup I got one too lol), Sandy, Frankie and I think Iggy. Sheldon and Frankie were trying to figure out how to share the food dish. I think Frankie looks up to Sheldon...they always have matching shells lol. Sandy was hanging out in the...

I thought I would share a quick pic of the 29 gallon I will be upgrading from. The crabbies really seem to love it in there but they are just all getting so big and I have adopted 3 more crabs so I need the bigger tank. (And no worries on sub depth....the sub goes all the way down behind that black ...

I got a lot of my stuff tonight to start working on the tank! I got my corner guards cut to size and marked for drilling. I'm going to my mom's tomorrow to borrow her drill to get them finished. (BTW...whoever thought of this first....GENIUS!!) http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160530/6f2112e66dcdd6...

Bucky was walking around some today my hubby reported. The last few hours he has been still tho and tucked waaaayyyy far back in his shell. I did move him a bit bc I had to open the tank to let out some heat and hubby was concerned about the non movement. He did not limply fall out of his shell when...

Those are great looking crabs!

That shell is so ridiculous for him lol. I was really hoping he would change last night...luckily I didn't get rid of ALL my small shells. I had given a few to someone in my other forum last year but I had about 10 or 12 that I think will be a better size for Bucky. The one he has now is way too big...

Oh my gosh....I cannot get over how cute that pic is of all of them meeting up in that cave is. Its like they are having a little crabby town hall meeting lol

Posted on the FB page too for those who follow this page on there but reposting on my thread for those who don't... Bucky moved over to the food last night!! He wasn't out of his shell when I went in the room this morning but while I was in there cleaning the new tank and the stand he came out this ...
