HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Love all the color!

My crabs love to crawl on the screen half of my top. My kids and I call it playing "spider crab" :lol: you can put a heavy book or two like dictionaries size on top till u can get the clippy things. Here is my Harry playing spider crab :lol: https://plus.google.com/photos/113034103964699904922/album...

I had exactally the same thing happen. I had a 20L and humidity was ALWAYS an issue. I tried the homemade humidifier jar but it didn't work well it was much better just putting the bubblers in the water pools. But it still wasn't optimal. I ended up with bacterial bloom in my sand on one side becaus...

You could always house them temporarily in a different tank. Lots of times people will give u the tank with the crabs. Or check CL for free tanks. you can also make a pretty big Rubbermaid tub home for them rather cheaply. I know how it is wanting to save every animal in need

Oh no! :cry: I'm pretty new to crabbing but it may have been a fight over territory? Im sure some more experienced crabbers will offfer u a more definitive answer but I would maybe ISO either the injured crabbie or the meanie crab to keep them apart till u can get them safely moved into your bigger ...

Yeah I know it's a normal amount of time but all my other molders have been done in like a month tops. I'm sure she's ok and I know I shouldn't be to worried yet but she mah baby!

Ohhh that's a good idea!

So the shell in question, are u sure it was the one said crabbie was wearing? Maybe double check your extra shells in the tank. hopefully it's just a spare. My crabbies will bury almost anything I leave directly on the sub. They will also dig up anything I have partially buried like the ends of stic...

I wish u the best and hope u and your family, crabbies included, are safe! :) I just posted about this in a another thread. I had to evacuate due to flood warnings last feb. and did not want to leave the crabbies behind in case of power loss and I did not know when we would be allowed back in and si...

sounds like u will be a great crabbie parent! I'd love to see a pic of your buddy Arnold and of that beast of beardie

If u haven't got a regular tank u could use a large Rubbermaid bin with a lid temporarily. I had to evacuate last feb. because of flood warnings and didn't want to leave my crabbies behind in case power was lost and we didn't have to drive far to get out of the flood zone so I thought just better to...

Hi! I'm pretty new to crabbing to. Been at it about 7mo. Since I got my first crab from a relative. It's great that your upgrading her living conditions! It may be that she was a bit of a bully because she is rather large and in a small tank with minimal shell selection. I'm still new to this but I ...

They look great! Nice colors!
5 of my 7 crabbies are down right now. I'm starting to really miss and worry about one of my girls that's been down since early June. Hopefully she'll be up soon!

Looks fresh n tasty! I bet it makes the tank smell nice too
