HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Checked with manufacturer. They said that this product is made without creating any vacum. To suggest it can explod e is stupid. It has a designed life span of between 10 & 15 years. But regularly outlasts the aquarium it is placed in. The manufacturer has told me that providing I take precaution to...

Basic stay down is 6 weeks. Depends on how much water he/she took on board. Size is NOT generally the issue. Crab type is. Males stay under less than females.

Anything that size needs careful planning. Plexiglass can be fixed with batons etc,which themselves will need sealing. You need a sealant between glass and batons (2x4's). Think about what the overall weight may be,you'll need something that supports the tank,substrate,furniture not forgetting the w...

I'm sure your hermies will love it [emoji106]

Very nice [emoji108] [emoji122] how long did it take? Don't think I'd have the patience.

How big? Feet and inches. Free standing, floor to ceiling? Width,height,depth? Will it be sat on the floor,a cabinet or frame?
