HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I’d still get a heat mat!! The crabs like is at least 80 I’ve heard, said they are more active in warmer temps. Also some of them can be set to where they don’t get to hot. I have two of the zoo med ones and I have them on the sides of my tank and you can’t insulate around them so I insulated the ba...

I’ll just wipe it down if it’s not an issue to the crabs. It’s just above the sub about 2-3 inches on front of tank.

I seem to keep getting condensation on the inside of my tank glass! I wipe it off when I do water/food changes. I try to be as hands off as possible.... does this cause issues if prolonged?? How can I fix it, and is it a problem??

Got to watch my first shell change in real life today! I’ve noticed one of my crannies has changed into a new shell the other day and has been going back and forth between the new one and his old shell. Well today I caught him in his old one again, which he had just changed into from the new one not...

I think it’s funny I’ll walk by the tank and won’t see one, and then I’ll wait a while and go back and look and the food will be scattered and a new hole dug lol.

Thank you very much!! I also put out some local honey in a bottle cap, heard that is good for energy and as a snack??

So I actually could crush up a pistachio and it wouldn’t be harmful to them?

Ok thank you!! Just wanted to make sure!

Can I feed these?? Ingredients says pistachios and sea salt. They are simple truth brand.

I don’t think you have to cook them. I have had people tell me you can give them with or without. I personally put mine in the microwave for like 20-30 seconds and then cool them and crush them up.

Right now it’s reading 78.4. And humidity is 87%. Hadnt had the crab but just over a month or so. Never molted with me or anything.

My temp usually runs between 76-78 and humidity doesn’t dip below 80.

Thank you very much!!!

I have two questions on whether I can feed these to my crabs or no. 1. Organic baby food. Ingredients: organic mango purée, organic yellow zucchini, organic yellow corn, water, organic lemon juice concentrate, organic ground turmeric. 2. Dried fruit and nut mix. Ingredients: dried apples (dried appl...
