HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I feel the same about bathing, but I will dunk them once a month or so in water. Just a quick dunk, and then they are dried off w/ a towel, so they don't get sand all over their legs when I put them back in there. I do this to look for any signs of mites. Any mites will float off in the water, and I...

At least this Frank guy is VERY helpful, and sounds like he cares about your concerns.

I am curious to hear more about this.

Mine are getting more used to me by the day. They are in my workout room, and get to watch me do my work out DVDs. I bet they have learned some moves to

With all that jerky crazy stuff, they have to get more used to me by the day

Sorry to hear about your losses Kathy :( I know it has to be terribly depressing :( I hope everything gets better for you! And if ya need help w/ the weigh loss, let me recommend: www.beachbody.com You may gain a pound or 2 after you stop smoking, but it will gradually wear off, and your body will n...

THAT is so funny! I was looking for somewhere to type about my scary addiction! I have found myself on ebay buying all kinds of crab foods, and then I found the Crabbage Patch website, and I have been going crazy!!! It really worries me! Then, about 3 weeks ago, I bought my first Straws! And I find ...

Thanks for the listings on eBay to NaRnAr's store! I want a little of everything!

I just had to add to this thread

I just placed an order from Crabbage Patch as well, and they had a LOT of goodies for the hermies! I also had to get one of those spoons from her

Can't wait to get the package, yall have me excited! Maybe I will get a goody or 2 as well!

Man. I hope it isn't too late :( I need to get home ASAP and dig this guy up. I only put him down an inch or so, and covered him very lightly, so maybe he will be ok?? He was lightly pinching my palm when I was holding him. I would be so hurt if he died b/c of me. I will do that ASAP, and keep every...

Oh no! That is kinda scary. I did dig a little and put him about 1" or so down the other day. Should I go dig him back up and put him in an ISO tank???? I really don't want anything to happen to this little guy, he has tried so hard, and done so well to be as handicapped as he is. Thanks for the rep...

Hey all! I have a little E that has lost a couple of its legs. It tries so hard to get around. For the past 3-4 weeks I have seen gel-like legs growing! And they seem to be getting longer! How much longer before he molts? I am so worried the others will attack him. Should I bury him myself? He is a ...

That is a little cutie you have right there!

I am glad you were at Walmart to take care of this little guy! It does look like an E to me.

I am happy for you! And I am sure they will love the new toy!

Thanks!

I went ahead and posted over there.

I hope this is ok in this forum. If not, please forgive me mods :) There is a new pet store in our area. It is personal owned, and is called The Pet Place. Most pet stores don't last here in my area, and the closest others are over an hour away, and they are the major chains like PetSmart, ect. Ok, ...

You all are just talking about plain oatmeal, right? Not the rainin kind, ect.? Just want to be clear.

Would they eat it raw, right out of the container?

I wanted to buy the jumbos I saw so badly! but I knew that Big 'un wouldn't care for anyone larger than him (or even the same size or slightly smaller), so I quickly shot that idea down. I purchased two jumbo straws at a Petco at the the beginning of summer, and Big 'un was extremmly aggressive and...
