HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I purchased food from Canadian Crab Connection, and my crabs seem to have enjoyed the food I got them. They have sample packs you can try as well, and shells etc. I had a bit of a delay in getting my order, since they are a small operation but in the end I was satisfied. I did order from hermit crab...

That's great to hear, thanks grandlinegirl :) I had sent them another e-mail last week, and they responded that my order was packed and they were shipping it Saturday. They said they didn't get my previous e-mail asking to add some items to my order, but offered to add it if I wanted. Since my order...

In a 20 gallon you won't really have space to do filtered 2.5 gallon tanks within the main tank aned still have space for them to dig and molt. For my 20 gallon long I had deep tupperware containers with bubblers. I stacked each container inside another so that when I did water changes I wasn't dist...

Well, I haven't received a reply e-mail yet, but checking their Facebook page again they have left a message apologizing for delays in getting orders out, they took a small break over the holidays and are now back to packaging up orders for shipment. I'll update if/when I receive my order. Hopefully...

Hi, Has anyone used this company? http://canadiancrabconnection.tictail.com/ I placed a fairly large order on December 17th and got the automatic receipt for my payment. On December 22nd I sent them an e-mail asking to add a few items to my order if it hadn't been shipped already. I also asked in th...

That's great to hear, thanks! It was fun to watch him enjoying the new pool. He is the only one in that's gone in there so far, and only the one time.

I have a PP who submerged last night. I just set up my new tank and have two 2.5 gallon pools with a ladder made out of egg crate and plastic canvas to get out (will add more fun things to the pools later). I have a filter and a heater in both pools as well. I just moved some more of my crabs to the...

Thanks for the specific dimensions, that's really helpful! I'm going to try this out

For those who are using the crane humidifier for your tanks, what size hose did you need? I have the standard airline tubing for my bubblers, would this work? I almost bought a repti fogger tonight, ordered online from PetSmart during a sale and when I went to pick it up in store there was a mix up ...

Thanks for the idea! I ran out of pipe, so thinking some small clay pots should do the job.

Thank you both for your replies :) I'll keep that in mind about my car and the weight. It's a Mazda 3, so pretty small. I would only have one other person with me though, so I can throw a few bags in the back seat (would be equivalent of having a couple people sitting back there) and a few in the tr...

Hi everyone, I'm completely new at all this and currently have 9 PPs in a range of sizes that I impulsively bought without knowing too much about hermit crabs other than that they need warmth and sand. They were in some pretty terrible conditions when I got them, in wire cages with no sand, etc. and...
