HCA: Hermit Crab Association

They are and if you’re okay with it, I’d like to take you up on your offer! It would probably be next week though as we’re about to have a hurricane in the next few days and I wouldn’t want to ship him and risk any delays because of the hurricane. Does that work for you?

I'm so sorry Wode. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. I hope everything works out!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I'm very very excited about them!! They really do have ADORABLE personalities!

I do! She told me she got them at yourfishstore.com, they're pretty fantastic about everything too from what she told me. They're very bright, energetic and healthy. They came as a bonded trio, all natural shells, they eat, sleep and play together 24/7. Customer service contacted her personally to t...

Thanks so much! I can definitely see why people love them so much! They're absolutely AMAZING. They're pretty spoiled if I do say so! The close up is on my female, Ichigo. [emoji16]

Hey all! I've recently become the parent to three absolutely STUNNING strawberries! As a surprise from my mom! Here they are! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/12/31d0f33cb71f1daa666c8b0908324670.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/12/cee9a84d37e824d6aadc7ec6c58aefc9.jpg http://images.tapata...

It's a pretty quiet in the tanks around these parts. 2/6 are actually up, the rest are down molting. :roll:

3-4 months I think.

What might have happened then, Wode? It was the shell that the other crab was wearing when he went down packed in a molting cave with a few bits of Exo inside it.

I found the empty shell that was switched out of and into the shell that was taken in a small molting cave, but I'm assuming it was not the passed crab's however as the cave was too small Thank you all for your kind words I'm very relieved to know it was all an accident, even if it was at the cost o...

Unfortunately I've already dug and come up with nothing and I went through every bit -- I'm afraid he's passed.

Is there any way I can prevent this from happening again? Can he be put in with the other crabs? Or do I need to isolate him permanently?

Thank you, Kelly. As someone who has mainly kept one crab this is a bit of a shock. Can you please tell me how I can prevent this from happening again? Or was this beyond my control? I feed them a good diet to prevent the need for something like this to have happened. Is this a common occurrence whe...

Well, I sided with Wode. My gut said dig when it never does in my 15 some odd years of crabbing. I dug today and I came up with absolutely nothing. Any ideas guys?
