HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Turns out that Zenon has gone back down, she has done this before for one a day so I'm not worried.. But Odin is back up! He went down the day I got him so I can't wait to get to know him. Idk if he molted or destressed. But either way idc! Oh happy day(: New to crabbing as of 1/3/15. 4 PPs Hermione...

Thanks for the info. It makes me feel a bit better.... I sure hope she comes back to being my fun little one soon!

Yay!! Zenon is up from her first molt!!! (With me) its my first successful molt in my tank. Everyone else is still down... Her coloring has gone from pale cream to beautiful pink and purple AND she changed out of her horrid painted shell... However she was my most active outgoing crab. Always climbi...

Any suggestion on brand?

Those of you who have glass or plexiglass tank lids... did you drill holes in them for your bubbler tubes? How did you go about doing it?

And now he has this weird bump on his shoulder

Hermie update: he's alive!! I left him alone for 3 days... When I went to uncover the container I jumped back and started to cry... I thought he had come out of his shell to die. I sat there and stared for a couple of minutes. Regained my composure and looked back inside. He is alive and there are t...

It was moss but I switched it out for some extra sub. I think my moss had dye in it so I tossed it.

Update on Hermie: so he isnt moving all all. I picked him up and brushed he leg that was slightly sticking out and I saw a tiny bit of movement. So I thou k he is on his last leg): (figure of speech not literal) so I made him an ISO to try and help him get better. It might not have been needed becau...

The one with the shells on it? Its one of those plastic things for the desk that you sit papers in top of. I covered the top with mesh and walla

@Citiliviey how is the crab? If I'm right I think you have two different shell less crabs? Hope all is well!

No he was pretty visible the whole time and I didn't see any exo or anything. He has just stayed inside his shell. I have been paying close attention because he did dig himself a small ditch and I was worried about a surface molt. If he is still in the shell shop when I get home I am just going to c...

I've had him for almost two months and got him from the mall. Where I got all of my others who are underground molting. His conditions just weren't lol. An inch or two of sand in an open display so no humidity or warmth.

Okay guys I am having an issue and I am trying not to stress... Over the past month Hermie has not been moving. I assumed he was active at night as he is the only crab above ground and there was dirt in the water bowl and on the bridge to the shell shop.. so I cleaned those up and since then there i...
