HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I ordered six es off of livehermit crabs.com and they never arrived! Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks for your help crabber85, I did see that the crabs took about 2 weeks to ship but I wanted to make sure that my tank was ready for the es. Thanks!

I just bought some Es from live hermit crabs and the ISO tank is ready but I need a crash course in the care of Es!

I don't have an iOS tank right now so he's in a green tub with 4 in coco fiber in the tank. The walls are high enough so he stays in and the others stay out. He also is really slow, is there a reason for that? Thanks!

I thought it might be interesting if we put down our new years resolutions so we can look back and groan and say why did I do that. So my resolution is that I resolved to eat less sugar as it makes me tired and grumpy.(Next Christmas I will really be annoyed with myself for that.)

The picture is only 214kb.

Do you know a good way to do that?

Sorry the picture won't work. I will keep messing around with it.

Here is my whole setup. As well as the inside.

@amanda2 I supply both fresh and salt.@crabber85 I do not bathe them regularly only when I get a new crab.
