HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Got super lucky and caught Clawford on the new hamster wheel! He's also sporting BFG's old shell, which means he got a lot bigger from his last molt! He's officially graduated out of his signature spotted turbo




It wouldn't let me post the video of him running on it but he went on for a few good minutes having a ball Got lucky and caught him on camera

Omg how cool is that!!!! Does it have a suction cup on the back?

Awesome. I wish I had a tank big enough for a hamster wheel. I couldn't add one with out some serious rearranging.

Highly recommend seriously rearranging! Hermits walk miles in the wild. It prevents boredom, gives them much needed exercise!

Very cool Gaby! I don't recommend burying the stand in the sub. I don't remember how many hermits you have, but I hung mine. (Stand upside down with command hooks and thin rope) that way nothing gets in the mechanics of wheel when it falls. I have crabs lining up to use mine, and 2 on it at a time!

lol I might do that, I've only got 3 crabs and one is molting and another is just underground so there's not really too much competition at the moment

Awesome!!!!
I've got one installed in the future 20gal. Hoping it's a big hit for mine too!!
