HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I sit made of glass, then? And does it have a lid? You will need a lid to keep in the humidity and temperature.

Exo's almost all gone! :D I woke this morning to find Buddy in a corner, sitting, and where he had been buried, just a few thick pieces of exo. I chrunched it up, and put it into the food dish. He is getting more active, and now, he looks almost like his old self. :D When should he go back to the re...

In my last molt, Spirit ate everything except for the BP. It mde sense, though, since the BP is very thick.

He molted sometime yesterday, but I'm not sure when.

Quick question- how long do you think it will be before he starts eating his exo?

He hasn't moved since last night, I guess he is just absolutely zonked from molting. I think it takes a lot of energy!

Holy crow! Buddy just molted! What on earth...? Just shutting down for the night.. then saw buddy half buried with his exo! Still alive... he's OK. I hope E's can molt well; my last molt was with a PP, Spirit, and that came out OK. I just ISO' ed him. Hope this one comes out OK! Will update tomorrow...

By not picking them up, you are also reducing their chances of PPS. You can also reduce PPS by just keeping the conditions right at 75-80F and 70-80% humidity.

Maybe in a few weeks, after the crabs acclimate, you could take some pictures of them.

Hope they' re fine!

Welcome to HCA! Hope you are enjoying yourself! In regards to the water/feeding dishes, I know that these are good. They are for small reptiles. You might consider getting a large one, then putting pebbles/aquarium gravel in it to prevent the smaller guys from drowning. http://www.exo-terra.com/EN/p...

Hope they are fine, too. I wish you luck. (and them, too)

Do you mean that copper sulfate is listed twice on your label? On mine I have: Copper Proteinate, Copper Proteinate. Weird?

Sure do!

Although it was when one of my crabs was losing legs that I decided to join the site. Still not sure why it happened. But I do know that the support of HCA and its members helped me out! I'm so happy to be one of those people helping out now.

I'm not sure weather my newest crab is female or male, :? so sometimes I call him a he or sometimes I call her a she. A little too shy to come out far enough, so not sure exactly. Although once I saw the bottom of him/her when he/she was climbing some crabitat furniture, and I thought I saw no dots....

Poor cats!

I do not turn the ball for them, they turn it themselves. If they get a foot in a hole, then (trust me, I have seen them) they just walk out of it. Simple as that. The holes are not very different from some crab toys for a crabitat, and they just put their feet in and out of it.
