HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I just ordered a peice of 24" Grapewood vine from 'Blooms and Branches". I didn't notice until after I ordered my product and went back to review the item that I ordered, that there is a warning that the vines are grown along wire and so some wire could be imbeded in the wood.

So there are two pet stores in my town and they both sell hermitcrabs. Neither of them have the best of conditions but one is alright and the other is kinda horrible. So anyway I decided to go out and politely educate bothe of them on proper conditions and all I got was a couple of pissed of attitud...

Sorry for the long delay in replying, yesterday was super busy and tireing. But now it's the weekend, YAY! Back to the matter at hand though; it was Methylene Blue.

Yes, I've used a medication once in the tank, but that was a few weeks before I put this peice of wood in the tank. And that was a few months ago. Could it still be in the driftwood?

Thank you guys for all of the help and information.

Thanks; like I said I'm new to all of this and I didn't know how much was 'de-stressing' and how much was 'normal behavior'. So after my crabs settle in will the spend just as much time out during the day as the night? I use a 12/12 light schedule. Also is that a good day/night schedule or should I ...

I bought 4 Purple Pinchers a week ago from my local pet store. They are so shy and only come out at night. They burrow into the substrate during the day. Are they just destressing or will they ever come out and play during the day. The pet store had them in inadequate conditions so I figured that co...
