https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/content_link/Uw8G5UOxaV7p8BTZNW9DkKKMiQg0dpmHzlKf0U9M5F56OVFkPCT98AznkU0ywWbI/file I’ve posted a few times on here about my crab how she seemed to be molting on the surface and hadn’t moved now for almost 3 months. She’s a small crab and I’ve never smelt fish. So I...

What's the longest you experienced a surface molt? It's been about a month and he still seems alive but hasn't moved at all.

I have the ac on but it hasn't decreased the temp. I took 2 sponges out cause I don't want bacteria to create and I just bought moss today hoping that helps.
I have a mesh lid

So I'm a new crab owner, have a 10g with 2 crabs, both currently seem to be molting. One above surface which has been stressful but anyways. Was looking for ideas on how to decorate my crabitat, also ways to increase humidity. Saran Wrap was working for a while but for some reason I can't get it abo...

I like that overhead it gives a homey feeling and some darkness for the crabs that's cool

My second crab came up last night so I'm assuming he was distressing but he went back in this morning. My heat is stuck at about 75 I can't get it above that, I bought a ceramic heat emitter but am scared to keep it on for too long cause I don't want to dry the tank out but even having it in last ni...

1 Substrate: All desert play sand 2. Do you have gauges in the tank to measure temperature and humidity? If so, where are they located and what temperature and humidity do they usually read? Yes, located about an inch or two above substrate on the cooler side of the tank Fluctuates sometimes but usu...

Hello! I'll answer with GB for GotButterflies :) 1 Substrate: All desert play sand GB: Is it moistened with dechlorinated marine saltwater or dechlorinated freshwater to be sandcastle consistency? Is it at least 6 inches or 3 times the height of your largest crab? Whichever is deeper is what it nee...

Got my hermit crab 3 weeks ago (babydoll) she's a small crab, was a little active at first and started getting really inactive. Looked like she was trying to dig under to molt but didn't get there. I woke up one morning to a big claw and a leg deattached and freaked out, she was in s corner so I mov...

So we just bought hermit crabs the first one we got about a week ago Last night he barely moved. He's not a very active crab and I learned everything I needed to too give him the right care. However we just bought him a new friend a little larger than him and he's been with us for a few days. I woke...

Thanks everyone, and I noticed after I posted it was the wrong section. But thanks for the help! I picked up desert sand and got him a crab friend, it's been really interesting so far watching them!

I've had my hermit crab for two days, done tons of research and just trying to do what's right for him. I bought the coconut substrate and I bought some sand and mixed the two. I found a little bug inthe tank and only had t for 2 days! I'd rather just go with the sand I figure it would be easier to ...
