So, are you posting because you're concerned that your crab is not moving? Or is he okay now?

I'm transitioning to a vegetarian diet. Just wondering if any other members here are vegetarians or vegans.

@Crabber85, thanks for the info about PETA. I just recently came across the organization while researching to transition to a healthy vegetarian diet. I had no idea that they were not a very credible organization. But over the course of my research, I did find several good books and documentaries ab...

Good luck with your hermit crabs! My college doesn't let us have anything but a fish in the dorms, so I had to adopt my crabs out about two years ago before starting school, but it's cool that you will be able to take your crabs with you. Also good luck with college! It's a transition period for sur...

Just curious:Is anyone else in college? And do you currently have hermit crabs in your dorm/apartment?Because I'm in college and hermit crabs aren't allowed in my dorm. Not that there's really room for a 10 gallon even if I could have a couple hermit crabs.

Hey everyone. I'm just re-introducing myself after a two year break from the forums. When I started college two years ago, I had to adopt my hermies, Casper and Switch, out to a fellow member. So sadly, I don't currently have any hermit crabs. But I've kept hermit crabs as pets since elementary scho...

I just ordered some for my crabbies! While I'm at college my parents maintain my tank, so having a variety of easily accessible food that keeps well is vital. They normally get freeze dried rivershrimp and whatever fruit is around, maybe an eggshell. Have you noticed the balanced diet improves color...

If you're looking for different sizes/textures (i.e., red basalt vs black), check out the aquarium decorations section at Petco: their lava rocks are nicely priced at $4 each. I've gotten several for both the crabs and my mice. I was recently at home depot for playsand and saw a very huge bag of re...

I ordered two E's on Nov 24. I will update once I hear anything. I was really on the fence because the reviews seem so mixed here. Cross your fingers that I receive them all in good health- with an extra!

Prince, first I just have to say that I'm so proud of you for surviving all of my beginner mistakes when I didn't really know how to take care of you and your friends, Pinky, Pinky II, PP, Pincer, and Princess. Also, I'm deeply sorry for not finding the right sized extra shells for you and Casper un...
