HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I use an upside down take away Container with a wet warm paper towel inside. I like it bcz they'll crawl in and I can still see them.

What is the best way to have them come out during the day? My habitat is very humid and they seem happy but only come out at night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nothing like making them comfortable. While they are out I try to be silent. No fast moves or anything sudden. Every time I see them...

I'm new, 3 months into crabbies and I thought mine were not eating either, so now I take a picture each night when I put the new food in. I was amazed at all the tiny little nibbles that they ate! (When I actually witnessed them eating, it was well after midnight.).......patience my friend. :banana...

They eat in very small proportions. So they most likely are eating you just dont notice. Try feeding them a bit more protein, crabs enjoy the meaty things a bit more. (Are you sure the fish food is safe? Often they contain a lot of fillers and preservatives) Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Ok....

My crabs seem to be eating very little or nothing at all. I have had a good mix of things in there (I feel) and doesn't seem to be ending up empty at the end of the night. :-( I have had them for a week now and I'm getting worried. I've tried: Baby foods Different lettuces Papaya Coconut Algae table...

Can someone please tell me what type of crap I have? Also, if the large orange ones would work well with them? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170620/5a9168c1b2b887511bccc6c6a8171285.png https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170620/df705163ab18d1b81888d17a643b83b8.png Sent from my iPhone using Tapat...
