HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hermit Crab Toys/Enrichment recommendations? I would prefer Petco, Amazon, and Etsy, but am ok with any from Walmart or Target if you have good finds! I am all about keeping my crabs happy, and giving them a variety of things to play with! I will send links to their toys below when I get a chance, and I will also share my Amazon list of toys I have found, but want opinions on, as well as my Esty finds that look intriguing!

Have you considered hamster saucers yet?

I'll second that! My crabs LOVE their saucer.

I have a big guy who might not fit on a wheel, but I am getting tons of stuff for my tank already and kinda want a wheel suction cupped to the wall. Is that safe? Will I need many suction cups? Where can I get a big enough wheel? I just am scared I would have space for one, but my big guys loves to walk! Do you think a saucer would be able to be mounted to the wall? Or would that look silly?

The saucer style of "wheel" needs to be flat in order to work. It would not work if it was mounted to a wall. (And I don't think suction cups would hold.)

I meant more of doing some wacky mods on it and sanding the legs down and making it farther away from the wall so it could be flat and mounted to the wall
