HCA: Hermit Crab Association

ALBANY/SARATOGA/ROCHESTER, NY Hi, I'm a college student but my crabs stay home and are cared for by my sister and my mom when I'm not home. I love my hermies and have had them for 3 years. There is 8 inches of coconut fiber in the bottom of there tank, plenty of new shells, a humidity gaug, thermom...

I need help ASAP, there are little brown bugs in my tank and mold in both the tank and the water containers, I wanna get red of this stuff perminatly. What cleaning products are safe to use and if these things are mites have do a bath my crabs I don't wanna hurt them. Thanks.

Defiantly brown bugs. Yuck how to a bath them.

Went to feed my crabs today and saw little almost microscopic bugs crawling through the sand. What are these things and should I be worried. How do I get red of them.

In that case I'd give them at least another month no real way to know until they other come up or once the 3 months are over you dig out and find empty shells or desceased crabs, at least no way I know of.

Some people are awful

Thanks

Well the one that's up is probably the smaller of the two since his big claw seems to be smaller then the bigger one's even was by 1/2 inch but who knows. When I thought I saw the Big guy wailer was in a different shell may have seen wrong and he burrowed this morning so unless he changed shells und...

When I go to college this fall I have to bring my hermies with me. It's a four hour drive and there tank is a ten gallon. I have a 5.5 I could put them in for transport but I don't know if that's ideal especially since they burrow a lot. Any advice on how to transport these guys, where to put them i...

Big guy went down again so it'll be awhile before I can clean again but thanks for all your help

Ok how does an ISO work cause I have another smaller tank I could set up for a little while. And should I just clean out the tank at this point?

While the other crab went down about a week ago saw him two days ago and just today went to move a big Shell out of the food dish so I could change it, he was in there. But still no sign of the other crab. When this one burrowed he left on obvious mound were we went down. Nice to be comforted by the...

So basically I w my know if he's ok fine t another 2 months still nothing, no sign of a whole. Dug at very surfic a month ago to see if I could find his opening he's was up and down for days and now nothing.

One of my crabs Burowed about a week ago now last time there was a visible whole this time there isn't. Haven't seen him the whole time dug a little around under his jinxing stuff looking to see if there was a body to no avail. I believe one of the now empty shells was his. So worried can't find him...

Last one shouldWork sorry
