HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hey guys, just an update. im working on setting up a Bonanza Shop. Once everything is finished ill Ask the admins if i can advertise here and if so ill have a post dedicated to the site and item updates.

Wow this is epic for some reason i never connected 3d printing with crabs but yeah this could solve so many problems for so many wild crabs. I think it would be cool if one day you dropped a pile of them on the beach and then years later go to a different beach and see your shells there. Because ev...

Or even just supports in the middle Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk I will Look into it further for you once i finish some other desi...

Hypothetically speaking, if i were to open up say, an ETSY online shop. What items(Listed Below) would you like to see in the shop first? It takes a few hours to make anything, besides the shells that is, So if i can figure out what the most wanted items are i can start making them and get a timelin...

Thanks Again Everyone.

Oh no! :shock: Is your crab still shell-less? A forty minute to hour period is probably as long as you want to leave the crab unshelled. Since a naked crab is an emergency situation, it may be a good idea to fill out the emergency template, linked below, to see if we can find anything amiss. http:/...

So the otherday i posted in the health forum because my girl Scar decided to go from a shell she could fully tuck into, in to a shell that barley covered her rear. Well now, Shes Naked, i gently moved her into my isolation tank with 10+shells various sizes(lot bigger than the one that just covered h...

Yes some crab are stubborn! She'll switch! If you are terribly worried of crab aggression you can iso her with her size shells until she switches! I would consider it desperate measures... If you see any kind of bullying etc. Sent from my SM-G550T1 using Tapatalk Alright thank you for the help! Eve...

Just an Update. She Is Still in the tiny green shell. but she seems content with it. so i guess i was freaking out for nothing. i just never seen a larger crab choose a shell that only covers their back.Thank you for all of your guy's input.
