HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi everyone. I haven't been on here in forever! In fact, I visited the old website and was very confused, and then I ended up finding this one so :cheer: ! Anyway, there has been recent talk of getting a hermit crab in the student lounge at my school at a meeting about the design of the lounge. I'm ...

She almost escaped today-again! Fortunately we are moving her to a tank where it has a higher ceiling so she cannot escape as easily. In addition to that, the lid is heavier and will be much harder to lift up for her.

So this morning, Hermione climbed out of her tank (how did she flip the lid?!) and was almost in the kitchen. Yikes! For now, I am weighing down the lid so it is harder to flip. I hope that this doesn't happen again, especially if it is during the daytime when no one is in the house. Is there anythi...

So, this question has probably been asked a million times before, but what if you are introducing more than one hermit crab to a tank? If you got one at a time and then kept slowly introducing them as you would with one, would it be too stressful on the crabs that came earlier?How would you recommen...

I placed a log underneath her, and I also put out her favorite foods. She came down this morning, and the thing is, there are many theories. From what it looked like, she was clinging on for dear life.

Okay. Thanks everybody!

Hermione somehow got herself to the edge of the top. (I have a tank with the black sides and then there is an edge right below the black lining. She is clinging onto that.) No clue how she got there, assuming on top of the coco shells, to the gauges, and then to the edge. Or log, to the edge, climbi...

I have 2 (hopefully) questions:How big should my UTH for my 35 gallon be, and how many?I bought a shower caddie today. It has holes in the sides. Should I put moss on the sides and bottom, or should I line it with something else?

Did you make it?

My Great-Grandmother got burgled when she was away for a month or two. One set of Sterling Silverware and two silver vases. No fingerprints, and no more fancy silverware. They actually came twice, and set off the alarm once and left and the police came.

Interesting! I will eagerly wait for the results!

My brother is really really into dub step/house/dance/whatever electronic music you can name. Some of the songs are actually okay, but now he is trying to make some of the music on his own!!!!!!!!! :bang head: It annoys me so much! For now, he is just mixing together different songs.

Thanks everyone for the advice! She made it through last night!

So, last night, my Hermione came up from her first molt! Yay! I am so excited, I thought she might not make it through, but she came up last night!

@jenok I think that she is down deep. Kinda concerned. It looks like the tunnel collapsed over her. It looks like she is at the bottom of the tank, too. I can still see her, and she is in one of her absolute favorite spots. Thanks!
