I am buying my first home and will be moving probably memorial day weekend. I will need to put my hermies in a smaller tank.
I have a 40G Long I assume the weight will be to much so IM thinking of removing the sub into buckets, What should I do if any hermies are down for molting?

psychedelic ones? now were talkin

Hello while looking in tat this evening I noticed there is a mushroom starting to grow. Is this ok or should it be removed?

Good news I came home from work today to find Hemie up and around in godzillas shell. He appeared to be unharmed. I also found and added some more shells today that should fit the larger guys. I added that in a separate post in shells. Thanks everyone for the help

Nice, the murex shells are really big though way to big for any hermie I have. The openings range from 1 1/2" - 1 7/8". I would like to grind/ sand/ polish the magpies to drop some weight and make look nicer but not sure how or where to start

Hello everyone after a recent shell jacking from my biggest hermie I went out to find more shells that would fit. I came across this deal at Michaels out the door for $12.71. Its a 5lb. bag and was like playing the lotto cause you could'nt see much with in the bag. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/...

wonder why godzilla stole that shell then cause i do have other nice shells for them around 7/8 - 1"

think it would be cheaper in the long run to purchase my own food dehydrator and make them foods myself?

Personally I only bathe them after a molt so other crabs dont try to eat em because of the scent.

Here is the trouble making shell stealing bully. I know its Godzilla cause he is purple, has the largest and more oval shaped bp where hermie is mostly orange and has a near perfectly round bp https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/EYxHHDHAd85zZwgYfkX37x5-gVPE-onskr_McHnbbW4=w1144-h643-no https://lh3.goo...

yes he has to be underground hopefully in godzillas shell. there shells are both about the same size 1 1/8. hermie had a black triple stripe magpie shell from hcp and godzilla was in a old silver polished turbo shell
