Hello! I'm sure its posted somewhere but I am on tapatalk and unsure how to search [emoji2356][emoji5]

I'm re-doing my pools. So any other helpful tips or even if you'd like to share a photo of your own pools thatd be great.

My largest seems to have a new goal in life to escape his tank. I don't know how many times I have seen him try to climb the wall up to the top after he figured it out the first time. Then got mad when I rearanged the lay out so he couldn't. The lid is a old aquariam one with the plastic pieces pun...

Ok great I'll look and see if I have one similar or similar in opening type!

Let me know if you do. I have a bunch of smaller shells if I gave something similar I can send it to you. Also check the shell guid they may have a picture of the type or some thing similar. It's hard to tell when it's painted. I know I for sure have a whale or sharks eye and two types of muted. If ...

He prefers something about the painted one. It's size, shape, or ect. I know sometimes a crab with adjust the inside or "modify" it. So he may even spend some time between the two. Try and get a shell as close in size, shape and type to his current one.

Yay that's great!

Yay that's great don't forget to offer and few in the next size up and maybe even down. [Before a molt and every once in awhile I have a crab that goes a size down.]

I plant with all my shells or use them in the water bowls for the crabs to climb on. I've successfully planted prickly pear cacti, bird seed and cat grass mixes with no problem. I'm having issues with tapatalk but I posted some on my Instagram odd_girl_jae. [Sorry if not aloud]

Hay I have a good bit of shells that are an inch long with an opening of 3/8 or less. If you pay them shipping I can send you some. I'm going to make a post with pictures. It feel free to email me.

Next week I'll introduce a little more chicken, just so they become familiar with it. I just started feeding them meats. They are omnivores so they like a surprising amount of different foods. I use vital essential treats and they are all crab safe; plus usually cheaper that reptile stuff. [The dog...

Hi, I just fed my hermit crabs their first bit of raw chicken last night. How do I expect them to approach it at first? Are they going to attack it, and devour it, or are they going to take time to get used to it? I got all natural chicken thighs, and diced them into a few bits, which were placed i...

Hey all. Just a few days ago I brought home 2 rescues. I didn't want to post about them until I got some pics. They were kept previously in a tank with eco earth sub, about 3 inches in my estimation, not sure if they had access to fresh and msw but I know they couldn't submerge in the water they ha...

I dont know of any bugs but when i had an explosion of food mites [i calk it an explosion because it went from none visible to my tank top over run in a day.]. I wiped the tank down with ACV [apple cider vinegar] outside and in every day. I also misted all food and food dishes with SW daily. After a...

I know the feeling! Mine are so shy still they only come out at 3am and the moment they see me they bolt! Silly crabbies, don't they know the absurd amount of time/money/trouble that went in to building them these perfect little crabitats? Lol. U gotta be quick with that camera Some of mine are sup...
