HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I just got 3 crabs yesterday and the other two seem fine in the new tank, in fact one of them changed shells immediately. But one of them has not moved from his spot that I put him in the whole night. I checked on him constantly until I fell asleep. This morning I noticed a leg near him it looks lik...

Well, for next time when you dig up a moulter refrain from covering him with substrate. They construct a moulting cave and use that as a kind of air pocket to sustain most of their breathing. Covering the hole with a large flat dish or a scallop shell would be a wiser move. I would honestly suggest...

I recently got a bigger tank and moved everything to the new one along with the crabs, except 1 crab who was buried. When I was moving everything I dug to find the last crab but he was molting.

Hello crabbers, do any of y'all know where I can buy premade pools that have declines that lead into the pools? I've tried doing the DIY pools, but mine always leak water into my substrate. So I want to buy it from a master glass maker. Any websites or stores y'all can recommend?

I have a 45 gallon tank, 36(long)x18(deep)x17(height) inches. Will be posting pictures when I get home, but my crabitat stinks and I want to offer them more. I'...

I'm not sure that my hermit crabs are having fun.
They do walk around at night, but i feel as though they are missing fun toys that I see in other crabitats.
Can anyone recommend some toys or objects i can buy for them on amazon.
