HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi, so my first molt Ive ever gone through and it ended up being a surface molt. I moved him into Iso,he has been molting for 2 weeks, and since yesterday he has moved himself to the bowl where I put calcium and protein in for him. Do I leave him in the tank still? If so, how much longer? Or do I mo...

I bought some of them off of amazon, and I wanted to know if these are safe: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000CFN90?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 They are metal, but they are going to be mounted at the top of my tank with the hemp net that I have. If they aren't safe can an...

Okay, thanks. I will be buying it tomorrow.

Hi, I am buying calcium for my hermit crab, hes molting and I am looking for places to buy. Someone from another section suggested cutterbone, and I dont know where to get it. And what can I feed him during this? Can I give him straight calcium and water and thats it? Also I was wondering what calci...

Thanks so much for your help.

Alright, and do you know when he will start moving again? I picked him up a lot today, for like 10 minutes, which was a bad idea because of my panic. Should I check up on him everyday? And should I replace the food everyday as well or leave it for a few days?

Okay I covered up his entrace, and I will put a big towel over it too. Did you see how I set it up? Is that good enough for tonight and tomorrow? I also put a little bit of scrambled egg in the cup and the egg shells as well.

Yes I can make an egg and crush it up. Ill give him the egg as well. Can I keep the dishes where they are or move them closer?

Here is my half-fast setup: http://imgur.com/gkZNYVJ

I am going to the store tomorrow to buy the proper dishes and stuff. He is in the shack on the left. Should I put something over the entrance to make it completely dark?

Okay I cant go now because the store is closed, but tomorrow I will. Do I give him a the stuff from THCP when it comes and the calcium? Ill post a picture of the setup in a min.

I ordered a protein mix from the hermit crab patch today before I noticed he was in this state, and it should be here in 2 days. I ordered this: http://www.hermitcrabpatch.com/Surf-n-Turf-Protein-Combo-Mix-3oz-p/ft011.htm Along with their variety pack. I will put a bowl of water and another bowl wit...

I do not have its exo, what should I give him to eat? And Im moving him to my other tank so should I bury him or put him into one the crab shacks?

Here is a picture. I dont mean to hurt him if hes alive still, but I just need to make sure hes okay.

Hi, My biggest hermit crab has been ontop of the substrate for about a week or 2 now, and he hasnt moved. When I was curious as to why I picked him up and a body fell out, but I saw inside a pinkish body with its claw and everything. I put him back down and hes sitting ontop for now. Thx for any help.

Hi, so as the title said above, I am trying to find a long net that my crabs can climb on, My tank is 30 inches long and 12 inches high, the net doesnt have to be exact, but Im looking for one that can extend for the length of my tank. Heres an example of the net I would like to buy: http://i26.phot...
