HCA: Hermit Crab Association

REPOSTING:
I have two hermit crabs (the one with purple claws) needing a home! I love them dearly but I feel like I’m unable to care for them right now due to certain situations. If you need extra supplies I do have some!

Hey! I’m in Philly—I have a hermit crab named Hermie but read that hermits like to have pals so would love to take on yours! When can we pick them up? We live in Fishtown! Jess :clap: Oh yay! Do you have the proper equipment for your hermie? I have extra stuff if you need! And I don’t live too far ...

Are your crabs still available? If so, I am in South Jersey. I have a single crab that I adopted about a year ago. Even tho he is alone he seems to be thriving. Would it be wise to add yours? Would you have the set up to add your 2 crabbies to accompany mine? They are still available! And for my on...

How far is your location from me?

It’s around this wooden hut I have and the hut is in the sand as well

I just started getting crazy amount of mold growth in my hermit crab tank, it’s in the sand and everywhere on surface. Any ideas!?..

They all molted in August and September and has showed signs (new leg hairs, color changing). I believe that they’re still adjusting to the tank because two of them are new. And I’m worried the tunnels collapsed because the top layer of the sand has been drying out and I have to mist it very often. ...

Hello! I need to move my hermit crabs to a new tank but they’re under the sand and have been there for a while. Im really nervous that the sand collapsed on them but only one hermit crab has been coming up. All hermit crabs successfully molted and I want to dig the sand up to look for them but I don...

I have three hermit crabs, the biggest one is the size of a golf ball (maybe a little bit smaller)

I’m asking for advice: what’s best for humidity

Hello! I’m trying to purchase a new tank, I need a 30-35 gallon! I currently have a 25 gallon tank, it’s almost like a fish tank with a screen lid (covered in Saran Wrap). I want to either purchase a glass lid or buy a whole new tank. Please give me suggestions!

Oh okay, thank you so much! It definitely look likes food kites and I never saw them crawl oh hermit crabs before. Thank you for the advice!

My friend’s hermit crab has little white bugs crawling on him. It looks like food mites, but I was wondering if they crawl on them or it’s something else.

I just hope he isn’t dead or anything, just really worried about my hermit crabs. I hope they do eventually come back up, i really don’t want to dig them up if they ever pass away
