HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I've asked several airlines, they absolutely wont let me take them on as a carry on because they are exotic animals. They will only allow cats and dogs and even then you aren't allowed to bring certain cats and dogs because of their breathing problems. It's a mess. I think I'm just going to give the...

Well, it just snowed here. So it's below 40. I'm going to try and time it right...or sell them...I don't want to sell them because I put a lot of time into them, but if worse comes to worse I would rather see them in capable hands than dead because I tried to ship them out there.

Hey Everyone,I'm going to be moving in January and I wanted to know what you guys do when you ship your hermit crabs during the winter. It gets really cold here, like below freezing and I'm afraid that even if I do ship them over night that they will still die from the stress. I have five crabs up r...

I wanted to know what your take on Glass Shell Hermit crabs. I saw them at Petco and I wanted to get one (not because they have glass shells but because I want to get them OUT of the glass shells) I think that they are dangerous to the hermit crab, especially if they fall and crack and the glass is ...

I like King Crab. LOL

I'm never good at dropping the ingredients. Try to make striped candies that get rid of the collumns instead of the rows.

Thank you. I was wondering because I keep throwing out rotting fruits and if they can eat it then I'll give it to them lol

Can hermit crabs eat rotting fruits and meat? If it isn't molded of course. I don't know the answer and my friend asked for her crabs. star

If you live near a World Market they sell a big bag for $20. I went in there and switched the shells out of the bags and took the ones I could use. XD I don't think you can do that, but they are still getting their money worth. It's not like I'm steeling.

I went to a Petsmart out here in Bellevue Washington. It's the BEST Petsmart I have ever seen take care of their hermit crabs. Only thing was the substrate wasn't deep enough. They fed them right, they had the humidity and the temp perfect, the hermit crabs were running around and chatting and havin...

It's alright!!! I have no more personal pictures, or special memories on my computer anymore!!! Both my computers and my phone dumped all my files into the non existing trash bin...Everything is already gone...so I'm about to trash everything and start over. Thanks for the warning though

Alina has the two dots on her abdomen. So I know she is a girl. I had more shells, but it's hard to find shells for her. I have one Turbo Shell and one like the third shell in from the left. She is in that stage where the shells are either too small or big enough and heavy and they don't like heavy....

I had three crabs molting. Two crabs not. Jinxx, who was the first one down a month ago is finished and after a week in ISO I took him out and put him into the big tank with the other two non molters. Alina, my only girl has always been a little agressive, only flipped him over once before they beca...

Throwing out the lottery ticket. (What pill bugs are good for your tank??!!? No one told me this!!!)

Thanks for that little tid bit about to yogurts. I've been doing pretty good today I haven't been eating a lot, yesterday I didn't eat a lot either. I went out for a walk and I worked on my new blog.
