I'm new here and to hermit crabing

Post by annihilation26 » Fri Dec 19, 2014 7:01 pm

I'm looking for information on stuff to get for my crabs like foods heaters tanks and sudstrat and toys
I toke in 7 hermits a few months ago and I'm still trying to help them out I got them new beding better food after I got then 3 started moteing but 1 past way I'm guessing it passed way coz its old owner left them in a mess the tank was moldey and the crabs had mits after I got them I cleaned there tank and I bathed the crabs to get rid of the mits now they seem happy and more active now so I hope I'm doing something right by them

If you live near a Petco, they are having their $1 tank sale starting on Dec 28th. You can get a 10gal, 20g, 29g, 40 g, 55g. It's just the tank but it's a great starting point.

Welcome friend! :D There are a lot of care sheets and super informative posts on here! If you go to "Care Sheets, Guides, and Frequently Asked Questions" a lot of your questions can be answered. The search button I have found really helpful too. Most of anything I've wanted to ask, someone already has haha! :hi::
4 Purple Pinchers (Hodor, Spree, Rosie, Leonardo, and Lucy), 1 Strawberry (Denver), 4 Ecuadorians (Dexter, Leeloo, Ghost, and Dr. Zoidberg)
1 Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Thorin)
