HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Thank you all! It’s a couple days later, I haven’t been home, would it still be safe to unbury him? And there’s another one in the ground that is growing it’s exo back, what about that one? Or, Do you think we can move the tank by moving it and the stand? Like we slid the stand across the floor? Sen...

Do you think we could move the tank it’s self? With the hermit crabs under? It’s a 37 gallon tall, so if we were able to just pick it up and move it with the hermit crabs still in it, it would be much easier.

Hi everyone! I’m going to be moving and re-doing my entire hermit crab tank very soon, but I just had a crab dig into the sand (last night) and one that is still growing it’s exoskeleton. This tank needs to be moved but what what do for the hermit crabs underground? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, thanks!

Like there are tunnels that the others can fall in

R2 came up from his molt!

But next time I see someone molting on the side of the tank, I will cover it up. Thanks for that info!

Oh, it's not on the side or anything. It's on the very bottom of the tank. No light reaches it (besides a flash light)

I love being able to see the bottom of my tank, I can check that R2 is doing good molting

I'm glad she didn't pinch me with her big claw. I think it was more of a "hey why am I being held" or a "hey I kind of want to eat your hand" [emoji23]

When you try to take a good pic of your hermit crab but it ends up pinching you after you take the pic. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170606/130c97524c2e14a786ef2844ec8324c3.jpg And this is also the buggar that latches to the lip of the tank and the lid so that I can't open it. -_- Sent from my...

Thanks!
Here's a pic of "one of the 2 in almost the same shell"
