HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Wow, haha, so many responses! X3 Persea, the bottom one I want to use, the one they're in now, is a common aquarium, so it's about half as wide side to side as the one I want to put on top. aussieJJdude, it's left to right, so it'd be pretty lopsided if I did just one side or the other, it doesn't g...

Hello folks! I know, I haven't been on as much. I've been working from home which is cool but it means I'm a bit busy with distractions haha. Anyway, so basically I've been meaning to upgrade my babies' tank. Couldn't find a cheap one anywhere...until a few days back. I got this...Exo Terrarrum (36x...

I have not but the image makes me giggle. Lol. Omg. I have a feeling these two are going to either be bashing one another from the top spot constantly, or grow to be reluctant friends.

The other two, VIs and Red, seem very happy with their spots.

In the substrate.

Hehe.

I recently adopted two twin crabs. A teacher had thought they'd be a great class pet, but nope, they're not active during the day so no fun for the kiddos. They both have the same pattern on their shells. Anyway the more active one is Bitsy and the 'lazy' one who is buried now is Vis. So Bitsy, inte...

UPDATE: A friend reminded me I took a small video of when I first got Boss man. I checked it and yup, the wound is there, same place. This was 12 days ago. I guess I shouldn't worry since they don't heal like us, they molt, but it DOES make me feel a bit better that my crabbie isn't trying to eat Bo...

i figured they wouldn't bleed because, crustaceans (spellcheck don't fail me now!) don't have blood, I think? But I just wanted to make sure :x It's like, dug in a bit and it feels like a scab, kinda rough and bumpy when I touched it. He didn't flinch like I said, and he can operate as usual with it...

Well, see, I looked at it a bit more and...well do crabs bleed??? Anyway he's not bleeding, and i touch the claw itself gently and he didn't yank back like it was aching or hurting, but again, I'm not sure how crabbies...operate with pain? D:

https://i.redd.it/urn15gejo5yy.jpg I decided to take the cutie out for a bit, check on him, maybe bond a little. He scrapes on the inside of his shell it sounds like??? Anyway I was watching him and then! This! This like...bite on him? IS it a bite? Is it just a joint they have that I'm freaking ou...

Oooooh...I knew I was doing it right! Well. Okay. I take it back. I was just switching things around to see what they preferred more things to others, but still! Thank you so much for the info! I'll be sure to fill their tank with loads of happy crab foods! I'm gonna have to clean it up though...I'v...

I popped him into the freshwater for a bit, but he scrambled free. Um. They seem to be getting along okay now? But now I have another issue: my tiny one, Red, has dug himself down into a corner. I know he's alive because he's cleaning at the glass for some reason, I'm not sure if he's hiding from Bo...

Update: I researched it up a little more, and I think what they were doing is just playing? It still has me a bit concerned since he was on top of Red, but he wasn't yanking on Red or biting at him, he was just flicking his...feelers at him? On another note, he was acting a bit funny and I saw a mit...

I have their preferred food types list saved as a home page on my phone XD I'm making a list as I notice they eat different things sometimes, so I'm keeping an eye out for their faves. Boss likes pecan tree leaves! :P My mom says I need to chill on the food thing, she thinks they're like babies, tha...

So, lemme just put up a timeline: Got tiny PP who I named Red. Very tiny,not very active. Week later got BIG PP who I named Boss. Boss actually was a bit afraid of Red? I think? Anyway I moved them this way and that as I set up their tank and he did crawl over Red a few times which was kind of funny...

Hi! Call me Sassy, it's my online nickname :P I recently got into crabbies. I had one a looong time ago as a kid, but we'll, I'm not sure what happened? :/ Anyway! I upgraded from a small terrarium to... I'm not sure how many gallons the tank is. It's nice, I'll have to measure it later. Anyway, tod...
