HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Ralph-a (my stepson named him Ralph but when she climbed the top, you could see her gonopores) is the only crab that I have that won't freak when she sees me or anyone.

Any new news? Grand crabs?

No thank you Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk My thoughts also! My sister in law was stationed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and told me stories of animals walking into the hospital ER on base. They included chickens & crabs! One was caught in a door and she successfully was able to free him. He was ...

I have a female that loves to destroy. I decided not to go with airplanes!
