HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I apologize I haven't updated in awhile we've been dealing with a loss of a family member. I did speak with a vet in California who is AWESOME! Come to find out when Hermits take the salt water into their she'll they go back to the "ocean" and expel (literally flick like eggs) the extra salt in sacs...

Thanks. I didn't know any of that. And when I bought my hermit with a painted shell I was told the usual a knitter keeper a bowl of water and food. I brought him hom did research and realized this wasn't a good "pet" for my 2 year they in fact need a whole hella a lot more. So the next day we went a...

Honestly I didn't know there was a difference. I tried to get as close to natural as possible and get the Imagitarium Pacific Ocean Water as I am to understand that it's 100% natural.

And no i have not been cleaning out the salt water after every refill. It's more once a week for the dish.

I assumed it wasn't eggs because I was 99% sure the females flicked the eggs into the water to grow. We have been trying to grow plankton to attempt babies but I don't think we either 1. Have any females or 2. Have any mature enough. We have had them for over a year. I completely change everything e...

Sorry for posting updates not together -_-. But I wanted to say that they have been separated and put in the isolation tank.

Hope this works!!

I'm going to attempt to try a new approach for the image posting. Due to the last reply, the pink is the sand, we use reptile calci sand.

Also, when adding salt water they disappear but when water is low they "grow"..

That's why I added the Facebook link because I don't know how to post pictures.

I have had my 3 Hermiis for over 2 years. Recently we realized gel sacs in the salt water at first I assumed it was the eggs they flick to hatch, but now the sacs are growing! I don't want to kill babies or kill my Hermits by diseases/bacteria if they aren't eggs! I have called 10 vets(Lafayette, Ne...
