I’m new here & I am totally getting ready to do a search on this Crab Con you are all talking about!! Whatever it is, it sounds like THE place to go! Those babies are sooo adorable!!!!! I’m assuming that when I look up the Crab Con thing, I may see this info there, but since I also might not, can yo...

Wow!! This is definitely something to strive for!! I’m hoping that the next place I live has room for such a big & beautiful Crabitat!! My 3 Hermies are currently in a 10 gallon tank, but if all goes well & we get out of this extra small house, I would totally love to have something bigger with more...

That’s handy information to know!
I just purchased that exact item yesterday myself... specifically so I wouldn’t have to make the extra store trips in the future either!!

Perfect! I was hoping that someone would give me a clue & I’ll expect it to be roughly that much... I think the 50 should give them plenty of room, I was completely worried about the approximate ratio to watch for... I’m very happy for the “starting point” THANK YOU!!

I have a 10gal tank with 3 small Hermies. They currently have some of the Hermit Crab Sand from the pet store & some cocofiber on top. The more I’ve read, the more I realized that I needed something different. After several days of searching for Play Sand (most stores are out near me & I ended up ma...

Hi, everyone. I’m a New Hermit Crab Owner [emoji4] We came home from a weekend vacation with 3 new crabs. We’ve been learning as much as we can & just came home with a new fogger & timer for their Crabitat. Up until now, the temp has been relatively close to 70° & although we’ve been spraying mist i...
