HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Thanks.... he has gotten pretty big this year - and we were going on what we were told at the pet store for him - I recently learned that we didn't have enough substrate to begin with when I added more and he immediately burrowed and molted... I was freaking out because he was gone for like a week -...

Oh - and I added new shells today because my oldest has been hunting and none of the shells fit him just right - so both Hermie and Spike(the digger) changed shells today - we watched but Little Peeker is burrowed so he didn't change his shell

I have a 10 gallon.... with approx 5 inch substrate... three crabs - 1 about the size of a navel orange, 1 about golfball size (he's digging) and the third a little smaller than golfball size (I think that one's molting - he looked like he really needed to)... I haven't seen the burrowed one moving ...

We just adopted two new crabs 7/25 that were left behind at a hermit crab competition... they were bought from a gift shop specifically for the purpose of racing and left behind... we brought them home to keep our crab company since the passing of his buddy.... they immediately took to the crabitat....
