Hamster Wheel
the wheel looks like this. would this be okay if it's stainless steel for the turning point and PLA plastic for the wheel?

Re: Pools
Is it needed to double up? I'm not sure if it's needed. If so why?curlysister wrote:When people double up pools, they usually use the Zip Loc or Rubbermaid food containers, and jsut put one inside the other. Not sure if that would work with that pool or not.

Pools
Hi I'm just wondering do I need to double up on pools, meaning do I put 1 bowl into the substrate and another on top? I'm considering to get this pool shown in pics but not 100% sure. Would I need to double up on that pool in the pictures? Any suggestions would be appreciated :) https://uploads.tapa...

Re: Question about UTH
No problem. I did click the link and it says it does not exist. I got mine from Petco...without knowing the problems with painted shells. So i'm trying to get more shells so my yellow crabby can leave it when it wants to. I saw some on CrabbyKatesCrabShack on etsy. How often do hermit crabs molt? A...

Re: Question about UTH
I adopted a tiny crabby like yours a while back, but I don't think she made it. [emoji3525] I never saw her after the first couple weeks. So I'm not used to looking at little crabbies lol!

Re: Question about UTH
Your guy is so little and cute! It looks like his opening is 3/4". If it were me, I'd get a couple shells with openings slightly smaller (5/8"), a couple the same size (3/4"), and a couple slightly bigger (7/8"), and also maybe a 1" for future growth. I also have those sizes in my Etsy shop, all ex...

Re: Question about UTH
I'd go for just the turbos first. To know what size you'll need, you need to measure the opening of the shell the crab is currently in. I like to get shells that are a bit smaller, the same size, and a bit bigger than what the crab is currently in. This gives them a range of options to choose from....

Re: Question about UTH
For shells, I'd go with the recommended round opening turbos. It's what PPs prefer in the wild. I've ordered mine on eBay and amazon. Mail order sources are very hit/miss. Have to read the adds carefully to see how they size them. Best to go with Etsy, FB marketplace from a fellow HC keeper, etc. T...

Re: Question about UTH
Welcome! That sounds like a generously sized heater for the size of tank you are describing. The main thing is that it is sized such that it maintains an ~80F temp range in the tank. Room temp the tank is in has a lot to do with it. Looks like PPs to me too. So for shells wise, which ones would the...
