HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hello, everyone! I recently joined the HCA, and I am very glad to be part of this! I have three hermit crabs. I saw them at a beach shop, and I couldn’t help, but pick them up. I kept them in a small plastic container, until I could take them home. I provided them with dechlorinated water, (As well as salt-water.) and a variety of safe foods daily! They have a beautiful enclosure at home! Waves, the sweet, and active one! Tide the active, and nervous one! Also, Bubbles the shy, and incredibly sweet one! Thank you, everyone! Byeeeeeeee!

My hermit crab is named Bubbles too! Good luck

That’s so cool! Thank you!

I have one question though... you are not still keeping them in that little plastic container right?

No, I don’t. They have a nice 10 gallon tank with plenty of Eco Earth, and some sand at my house! I am also planning to receive some live chia plants from my friend who has hermit crabs as well, soon! The plastic container is just a transport tank! I could show you a picture if you would like?

That would be cool! I don't know how to post pics. Do you?

I’ll figure it out at some point, lol!

Welcome! They all sound really cute, and welcome to the world of crabbing.

To post pics you require a 3rd party site, like Flickr or imageshack or using the forum app 'Tapatalk' (should be in the appstore) and then upload pics through that.

Thank you!
