HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Been working for PS for years. We've never had crabs with painted shells (In my district and surrounding cities). But they do separate them by shell type. The more interesting looking shells are "Fancies" which was always odd to me considering I buy new turbos for all of our crabs and they'll switc...

My pet smart has one tank of natural and one tank of painted they up charge for the painted by calling the crabs "fancy". I think the magpies are really cute and wish I could find some larger ones.

Very cute! Looks like s/he is wearing a magpie shell: I love those but none of my PPs will wear them so I'll be curious to see if your crab changes out soon. Re sexing: don't feel bad that you didn't get a chance to tell if Happy is male or female after only a few hours -- I've had Mr Pinch aka Mar...

Just make sure the measurements from the bottom give enough room when combined. I'm not sure how many you will need exactly...how big are the crabs?

Maybe attach 3 or 4 side by side with pvc?

The hermit crab patch is excellent for food

If the crab is a true jumbo, I can't think of anything big enough that would make it easy to move down stairs in an apartment. If the stairs weren't an issue, I'd say maybe put it on a stand that has wheels, but that's no help when it comes to steps. Moving even a ten gal with 7 inches of sand is a ...

I've crocheted with hemp too, it is trying on your hands...I don't know about the lion brand yarn...I'll have to look into it

I wouldnt trust the wood if it's moldy, even if you bake it, but thats just me. Im not sure how it will actually affect it. Jumbos shouldn't live in a ten gallon tank. They need much more sand,deeper water bowls, more climbing space, molting space, and moving space than a ten gallon will allow, and ...

It looks really nice, how big are your crabs? The water dishes look like they may be shallow unless you have tiny or micro sized crabs. Your crabs should be able to fully submerge in the water enough so the water can get in there shells. As long as they have a way out (that piece of coral would work...

All your conditions seem right. I don't know, I've never lost one, and I haven't read another story like yours on here. The only thing I can think of is maybe they're bored with the dry food being the same all week? But if you're also feeding wet food, itv shouldn't make a differance. I really hope ...

Thanks! Lol that little stinker lol hopefully Mr. Pinch learns to keep his Claes to himself. I've never been pinched, but I'm very cautious with my big one sleepy. He's never attempted to hurt me, but his claw is a little intimidating even 3 and a half years later. I haven't seen happy since the oth...

Fr33fall30 I ordered 2 small aussie's the day before you ordered Es. Hope we both get our babies soon. I would cancel the order, but I want aussie's and she's the only one who has them. Some petshops sell e's....maybe if you asked your local shop they could order them for you? You might have to wait...
