HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hmm I wonder why. They are showing for me :/

One of my crabs (sharkey) does this weird thing wear he goes halfway out of his shell and goes back in over and over again but the has never just stayed there not moving. He also changed into a comfier shell and stopped doing the halfway in and out thing. Wish I could be more help!

It's been about 4 months so probably to late unfortunately But that honey that I out in there last night is almost gone haha I am glad they are slowly becoming more active and happy

Yeah I think my husband is scared to go past the store anymore :D for fear I might want to get some more crabby stuff hahaha :D When I first started out I did a bunch of research before I found this helpful site and all the information was so contradicting and I just did guess work and tried my best...

It's crazy how instantly inactive they become when the temp drops below 80. I don't want to turn the other heat lamp on as it's only 4 am and it super dark and I don't want to disturb them with light I guess I will just jimmy rig the tank with plastice wrap and maybe stick some towels in the dryer t...

Woohoo honey will be picked up after my Husband gets off work and ultratherm ordered! I am so excited to finally get one of those since you guys recommend them so much

Well his original shell was painted and had holes in it. Dang Petco He also has little nubs and falls over a lot from where they had him in a 10 gallon tank with 30 other crabs!!

Hello I am sure this is probably normal and I am just being paranoid but I am a new crab owner and I want to make sure my hermies are happy healthy and crabby :D But my medium sized crab scrappy has changed shells 5 times today! And 3 times yesterday. Do you think he is getting ready to molt or just...
