I recommend that you remove the fishing net from the situation, for a few reasons. 1) the craft mesh is plenty for them to grab onto. 2) you don't want them to possibly get tangled and drown 3) it will wick water from the pools onto your substrate, and empty your pools. Oh no!!! thank you! I have r...

I finally got my own bubbler set up for my hermit crab tank! I used this air pump: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTSR8Y8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and these to split it into the pools: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FZY71K6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00...

Thank you! ^u^

I am planning on getting some dwarf white isopods for my hermit crab tank, but I still have a few questions. I have a separate tote that I got for my isopod enclosure, and I'm planning on setting up a isopod colony instead of putting them into the tank directly. The tote is plastic, and my the tempe...

Thank you! I'll try that!

I recently got some nice new water dishes for my tank, they are glass vases that are around 8"x8"x8". I was initally thinking of using the craft mesh method that people use in their water dishes, but it has occurred to me that there is nowhere to zip tie them on! What should I use to make a ramp? I ...

We've had soooo many adoptions in Seattle just go nowhere because there was no one to take crabs!! Please keep looking, make a post anywhere that you can think of that you want to adopt. I am sure there are owners who want to rehome who have given up! Thank you! I really hope so. I'll have to wait ...

I currently have only two crabbies in this 36 gal tank: https://www.petsmart.com/fish/starter-kits/aqueon-36-gallon-deluxe-aquarium-kit-5129698.html I feel like they should have a few more pals, but there are very few people in or near Seattle that have crabs up for adoption... I check the adoption ...

Yeah I have some UTHs, but just today a moderator on the Land Hermit Crab Owner Association said that those are dangerous for my crabbies? I trust this site way more though, and I know lots of crab owners use them. Yeah, I agree. I trust this site completely. I won't name any Facebook groups to bas...

Well, I have lights as well as low power heaters, but I am hoping to switch to just a heat lamp and maybe also a light for viewing. I just have so many cords running from my tank, and I'm hoping to add a bubbler. Also the heaters don't look super nice on the back of the tank. I'm just trying to find...

I have three small ones on the back, mostly covering it. Should I upgrade to a large one? They seem to be keeping the temperature good. Sorry for all the questions! This is my last one. Thank you for the help!

Thank you! They are safely on the back. : )

oh okay good! I have mine on the sides.

Oh thanks! Those probably won't be good for my tank then. Do you maybe have a recommended brand? The ones I buy keep breaking. : (
