HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Not a problem :) Mine will run to this every time it enters the food dish. And will pick it to the bone! It needs to be changed out the next day, within 24 hours. Just drop a piece in some warm water, let it thaw, and then put it right in the tank as it is - raw. Watch though, b/c most will try to d...

I know most of you have heard me talk about the fish called Smelt, that I feed my hermit crabs. And, most of you have told me you've had problems finding it at your local grocer. I took some pics of the bag that may help you find them. I have 4 link pics: http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t166/350H...

Nice one KitKat

And to all of the others as well!

Oh, and if you go to www.cafepress.com
And search under Hermit Crab, there are a lot of items there as well

I am sure anyone who posts in this thread made mistakes...in the beginning. We all have learned so much.

I don't know anyone who started out as an expert crabber....

Wow. This is a loaded post for me. I will be short and sweet :) I bought some hermit crabs back in 1996 :) That is when I started with them. Didn't know a thing about them either! I had 3 large and 2 small in a 10 gallon. I never had a heater or a top on the tank :O I didn't know any better. I just ...

I can now respond to this post properly ;) My crabbies LOVE the autumn harvest! Received NarNar's food last Sat. and they love it all! They REALLY devoured the bugs n nuts though :shock: I gave them 2 bowl fulls of that stuff! I ordered 4 more bags of the bugs n nuts :D BTW, the blueberry flatbread ...

Never thought about that before! I have plenty of spidey skins laying around

I may try it and see

Im sorry =( I think what you should do it's ISO him with his old shell and maybe some new shells he might like to get it. I never experience that but thats what I would do. She does have him ISO'd in a container w/ his original shell and some others for him to look at, and where the others can't bo...

Thanks Nar, will check it out

Edit: I just bought some goodies! Can't wait to try them

Does NarNar have a site to order from? Or was it on eBay?

Talk about Hermie Heaven!!!! THAT would be like a dream for me! How cool is that

Would love to see Hermies all over the porch! I know they like screens, that is for sure

I just love to watch them be all active and acrobatic!

Thanks for sharing, good visual

Yep, Straws will hang out together. I have 5 in my 40B and their always together. Usually piled up on top of each other in the moss pits. Or, on the very top of the tree or waterfall. Get a couple of friends for your Straw :) And I do agree they like being around E's. My E's will nap w/ them in the ...

Total HCA experience: 74.1 years.

WOW.

I did NOT know this

How amazing!!!!!!!!!!! That is so awesome! I can sit and watch my hermies for minutes at a time, sometimes up to an hour as well! But to have been able to see all that go on!!! I think we all underestimate animals and their God-given knowledge of how to take care of themselves when something is wron...

Been crabbing for 1 year and 6 months.

Total=35 years

I KNOW you said it didn't matter, or not to add it, which I didn't, but I started keeping crabs in 1997, and got out of it in 2002. Started back in 2005.
