You can never go wrong with asking for a bigger crabitat! Even signing up up for a monthly food subscription. I think MT Pet Emporium do them, a few other shops I think do them too!

I also know of an Etsy shop where you can get some decor too!

Great ideas!!!! Thank you!

I also ask for extra kritter keepers, never know when one of those is gonna come in handy. And there's no risk of them getting the wrong product and it being harmful like if you asked for shells or food.

Thanks for replying! I actually already have 3 so i dont need any more

I’m also in NC! Mine absolutely love their wheel...not the saucer kind though. I added mesh to a hamster wheel after seeing lots of people here do it and there is always a crab or two playing on it. It’s my favorite thing to watch them do! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Great idea! I currently ...

A hammock, disk saucer wheel, plastic canvas, Lowe’s/Home Depot gift card, shells from Etsy, food from Etsy...that’s the kind of stuff I’d ask for (unless you have any of those things already). Hope that’s helpful :) Thanks! I already have plastic canvas and a flying saucer but those are great idea...

Hey! My birthday is coming up and I want to ask for hermit crab related stuff and was wondering if anyone had products that they love and could recommend! Thanks!

I can relate. I go through some sometime where I just find it hard to care for my pets even though I know I have to. I have a lot of anxiety in my life. Mental health or anything as it's a really odd subject to go around with my parents but I'm pretty positive I have social and generalized anxiety i...

I've done crab rescue before. My first rescue was100's of crabs in a 40g tank that a going out of business pet store was going to throw out--tank and all. I spent thousands of dollars buying tanks and equipment to house them all. I had 2-3 crab tanks in every room in my house. It's a noble but very...

Our Ruggie went down for a molt about a week after we got him! He came back up the other day with a brand new wittle weg! After another molt or two is should be full size! We are so happy! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210301/0cb174ba710ee5d36533d253f1f540c3.jpg Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapa...

Sorry, follow-up: Do you add any mesh to them or anything, or do the crabs use them just the way the saucer is made?

I just leave the saucers like they come. My crabs don't have any problems spinning them

I never knew humans changed shells! I guess that observation is true, cause as a guy, I can confirm. I don't change shells!

Hahahaha

Yeah, I thought about getting more crabs, but there aren't a lot around here to be honest. I did get a third when I had the 20 gallon, but they died of PPS. The two have been happy enough, I suppose, so I never got another one. I still can't believe that they survived their original home. They were...
