HCA: Hermit Crab Association

That might be a good idea. Each of mine have their own little hidey place, a log, a cave etc. I know it's hard to fit everything. I have a 40g and I have room issues lol. I only have 2 large ones, kinda around the same size the other one is tiny. I think if you add a hiding space, keep 2 bowls and a...

I get not doing the tank yet and a 20g is fine eso since your moving them up eventually anyway. The extra shells are good and 5 per crab is good...the more the better but I know there is only so much room in any tank lol. I keep some with openings around their size now and some that are slightly lar...

Chirping can mean alot of things. They may be coming up with a pecking order as well. I'd keep an eye on it...preferably without them knowing your watching lol. I have 2 food dishes in hopes to avoid food disagreements but that's me. I know your waiting for shells. That's something you have to keep ...

There is a wonderful care sheet and information under the forum care. A couple east take aways though...you are right they are ok, digging is normal. He may be molting. Keep an eye out if he is just so the other crab doesn't mess with him while he's buried (since you have deep substrate it should he...

You will find all kinds tricks. Sometimes I'll use petsmart when they have a spend 30 get 10 off others Amazon. Just really some reviews. I love Amazon. I literally get a package a day..lol but I've received a few misleading items. 99% of the time ots great though. Sometimes it's cheaper to buy for ...

And it looks a lot bigger then 20g. You have done a great job. Esp after just getting them recently (if I read it right lol) my older son is working on a new ramp. I'd like to make a little Lego "beach" with a little shark and a fake aquarium palm tree lol

I love that little hideaway..I saw one of those. Do they use it? I have a huge moss "bridge" in there they use to go from one level and end to another. I really live that hideaway!

So happy for you! I of course agree with Joe and Curly...they are qre both very wise crab owners. Just to help if you have a depot or Lowes the quickkrete kids play sand works well and is only a couple bucks for a huge bag. I use a 5 to 1 (sand 5 coconut fiber 1) ratio, my son loves to mix it up. Ev...

It's amazing what they can do with those shells. I don't know how they do it. I hate sanding them when they have rough edges. My son would love a camo shell. I'll have to keep an eye out. Thank you for letting me know they have them in camo.

The camo shell is naturally camo looking not painted right? Not to be nosey or one to tell anyone what to do but painted shells are not good for them. Actually one thing I love about this site is everyone is so knowledgeable without being judgemental or a know it all.Everyone is so nice and wants wh...

Thank you guys! I thought it may be from the soil but I knew you guys would know what it was. I love the crab patch. I offer alot of fresh food but it makes me feel confident they will get all the proper nutrients if I use their stuff along with the fresh. Plus, their prices are remarkably cheap. I ...

There is an adoption forum on here. I've actually gotten one and I am picking up a couple more next week. I didn't pay for either, even though I offered since the ones are coming with a tank. The only thing it's cost me is drive time lol. There's one for ppl looking to adopt. If you put your info in...

I agree casse. The worse thing is there is so much info out there, most of which is contradictory. I went nuts when I first started with crabs again. When I was younger, I had my mom plus little was know compared to now. Even now, I still have to look up stuff on here. I actually had one petsmart pe...

Haha yea hopefully the other 2 dobt remain so crabby. Ikr. He is Def. A weird Lil guy.
