HCA: Hermit Crab Association

So basically, I think my hermit crab may be sad or is just living his normal life. He used to be a lot more active, but now he usually climbs up to a stick and stays there for the day and will occasionally come down to eat. I don’t know if this is because he’s lonely or because the sand is kind of c...

I was cleaning out my hermit crab tank today and saw that he turned his cucumber into sort of Goo mix, It seems like he crushed up the cucumber with his claw to the point where the juices of the cucumber started to make a liquid. Is this for my hermit crabs not liking the food I gave them, or is it ...

Oh thanks, I was mostly worried about him getting down

So it’s fine if their upsidown?

My. Hermit crab keeps climbing on its roof and I don’t know what do to about it anymore, is it safe or should I get him Down?

I got some plants for my hermit crabs, one of them is postioned near the heating pad and I think the plastic chemicals might leach into the air, what to I do

What do I do? He has a diet of mostly fruit He does not eat food much He mostly is in a spot located...

I got some plants and they have a smell (fake plants) and I’ve cleaned them bust they still have a plastic smell, is it safe?

Lost renovating my hermit crabs tank today. I found a bottle of black sand that I’ve got from vacation, I decided to put it in their tank to cover one of their cavelike things. I know that black sand might be formed from lava and have metallic ions in it. I know metal is very bad for hermit crabs, s...

He lives alone but has a neighbor in a different take right next to him. He out and about now
