Re: Thoughts on a Hide

Hope this link works. I made a post a few months ago when I made my own custom hide. See if it gives you any inspiration lol. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ehermitcrabassociation%2Ecom%2FphpBB%2Fviewtopic%2Ephp%3Ft%3D123921&share_tid=123921&share_fid=28566&share_type=t...

Re: Tunnel Collapse Caused by a Drop?

Oh I quit worrying long ago. Someone had just asked for an update a while back, and my answer was no news yet. So I wanted to give an update now that I actually had news and remembered this post. Lol

Re: Tunnel Collapse Caused by a Drop?

Well they never came back up, so maybe not good. But it's "only" been about 2.5-3 months since they went down and supposedly they say not to worry until a year... I guess we'll find out soon. I'm going to be moving sometime soon (house hunting now). I'll have to empty the tank to move it. I swear i...

Re: Glass Top?

It'll be cheaper and easier to just get one of those hinged glass tops like aqueon makes. Just find the size for your tank and drop it on. Normally only like $15 If you tried to make it, just the sheet of glass would be $10 or more plus if they have to cut to size plus if you want the edges deburred...

Re: Crab went through the washing machine!

This one isn't Trogdor, it's one that Trogdor kept digging up. I haven't named any of the others, because they haven't really told me what their name should be yet. I'll wash the crabby again when I get home from work. It seems to be alright... though earlier I had a guilty giggle session imagining...

Re: DIY/Cheap alternatives

I found some cheap dollar tree tupperware that nest and it's worked so far. The nesting is a very good idea incase of a leak

Re: Second story materials

So this is all I can remember off hand.. if you have any questions please let me know and I'll try to answer them. Oh edit!: Can't believe I forgot. Don't forget safety glasses. Protect those eyes!

Re: Second story materials

If you use a soldering iron please do it in a well ventilated area. :) Don't want to be breathing plastic fumes. You can also use a drill/dremel, but if you aren't experienced with drilling plastic, you'll want to practice on a test piece since some plastics are easy to crack. I can write up a quick...

Re: How Much Salt

I'm definitely not an expert, but here's just an opinion.

If you want to measure it there are tools to measu...

Re: Second story materials

I've tried 3 methods. 1. Egg crate/lighting diffuser (held together with zip ties) wrapped in craft mesh/plastic canvas for a walking surface. 2. Tension rods wrapped in jute with a climbing net in between 3. Corrugated plastic (held together with silicone and decorated with stones) Currently I have...

Ruby. She's a female orange tabby and is very plump. That's the most flattering picture she's ever had. Lol it hides her fat well.
