HCA: Hermit Crab Association

OK. I'll continue to wait it out, even though it is pure torture! :worry:: :worry:: :worry:: :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: We've had the PP for many years and all I have ever found after her molts is a small portion of the large claw, so I am very confident they were not her own.

I am posting again about an E that went down for a molt one week after we adopted her. She buried under in late May/early June and we have not seen her since. She is in with our PP. I have been curious about how long to wait for the E to come up from her molt before I have reason to be concerned. I ...

Thank you for the encouragement to wait it out. I would call the crab a small (especially compared to the other one!) so maybe she just needs some extra time to get cozy. By nature, I always want to fix what is not right and heal what is not well; the thought that she might be in trouble is what's m...

Hi. A question to the one who is still waiting for the crab that went under in March/April...at what point will you get curious? I am asking because we agreed to take a lone crab from someone who was threatening death to the crab if it didn't leave their home! Within one week of us having the crab, ...

Echo went down under about 6 weeks ago for her first molt since we've had her. Does anyone have an idea how long the Es take? She is in the tank with our PP who just came up from her own molt, one week ago, and she is (and has always been) a die-hard digger. It makes me nervous that the PP will find...

Thanks, Landlubber. Great to meet you, too. (I've read some of your recent posts so I already feel acquainted with you.) I posted my question in another section of this site, also, and did receive an answer about the corner guards. So, that's all good. Now, if I could only figure out why I am not ab...

Oh, good...it's not just me who can not see these pictures. Wish I could, though; they sound pretty great. (The "smilies" don't work for me, either.)

Thank you so much for getting back to me AND for the clearly outlined directions. (I just finished re-posting my question in the new member section, so please disregard it if you see it. I wasn't sure where I'd get the fastest response.) Your tank is beautiful - can't believe it is only 10g. Now tha...

I'm a new member (just joined today after staying up until 3:30 a.m. reading posts and looking at crabitat pictures) but THANKFULLY not new to your site. I found your site 3-4 years ago when I brought home 2 PPs from the Outer Banks, NC. My son begged me daily to get him a hermit crab but we had NO ...

I just joined this site after having spent too many hours looking at tank setups. I would love to make some aesthetic improvements to our crabitat and am wondering about the corner guards a few of you mentioned. Where do I get those? Are they a specialty item for glass aquariums or are you repurposi...
