HCA: Hermit Crab Association

there are some variables that you can not control or have as constants.... the age of hermit crabs is not really known as each species grows at different rates and the size of each species is different as well. While a crab that is roughly 3 years old in one species may be about the size of a quarte...

I think that is what I am going to do... just set up the temp and trash most of whats in my tank and boil the rest a few times before re-adding it. bleach the tank and air dry it outside that way I can spray it with the water hose.

yeah... so you see my problem? I didn't know if there was anything besides the predatory mites that I could do....maybe i'll just was all of my crabs (there will be a first time for everything) and set them up in a temporary 10 gallon while I bleach and spray out my 66 gallon... then let that big su...

Kuza, the problem that I have with the predatory mites is that right now I don't have the 20-30 bucks to spend on buying mites. if you'll read my thread in clicks and chirps you'll see what all i'm going through right now and have been going through lately. I don't have any spare money laying around...

I'll try that CA I don't know what else to do... I hosed out the entire thing...and trying to move a 66 gallon long by yourself is a chore. but to be honest I don't know where they came from but they are only on and in the tank. I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

I hate to say it but you can also call animal control (you don't have to give them your name and they won't reveal it) or a similar agency and they will confiscate them and take them to a rehab to raise and release. She may possibly get a fine as well since you have to have special training and a li...

Nah...these things are everywhere. Literally... they are crawling up the sides of my tanks and congregating on the outside edges and corners...I'm telling you these little things are freaky. They aren't travelling down the tank because I can't see them on the stand and they are not traveling down th...

So it has been a while since I have been on... but let me give you a quick run down...baseball, baseball and oh did I mention baseball? 6 & 7 nights a week...thank god baseball season is finally over... I am still finishing my schooling...but now working as a pre-k teacher at a local school which le...

So I have been fighting white mites in my tank all year now. I have completely stripped and boiled everything in my tank, changed out all of the sand and can not get rid of them...what do I do now? Or where did I go wrong? This is the first time in the 3 years that I have been crabbing that I have h...

I use the command hooks...they do great holding up my second levels. I use the corner shower caddys and the hooks easily hold it up. I had 2 hooks that have been in the tank for over a year and I just recently took it down to move it somewhere else. So i recommend using them if you can. My crabs lea...

Keg, A friend of mine is going to be running in the 5K zombie run this year. She is going as human along with her brother but her sister in law is going to be a zombie. It should be interesting to see how that goes...lol.
