HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I should of mentioned that *facepalm* yes, I taped down a rectangle to start, then I tied all the vertical strings into the rectangle, then I did the loop and ties with the horizontal strings

I love this idea! I will definatly be trying this one

Thanks so much!!

I was just thinking about looking up how to do this tonight to make tomorrow. I need a net so bad in my cage and I really don't want to buy one from a craft store as I don't know what dyes are used.

I like making my own alot because you can decide exactly what shape and size you need, and it's only a couple bucks for a roll of hemp

Did you make the bridge the same way you made the net?

Yup! Same idea, smaller scale

Thanks. How long did it take you to make them both. I'm pretty new to macromae so its kinda time consuming for me. I'm going to keep at it though

It's nothing fancy, not macramé or croquet or anything, just repeated knots my net was about a square foot, so it took about half an hour to 45 minutes ish

Would love to see a picture of it in your tank!

I actually have one kicking around from when it was out like this

Right now its against the wall, I made it a tad too big for my tank and it was getting in the way But I'll be transferring it to the new tank soon.

That rocks Rocky!!! Very creative!

Does it have to be Hemp?
Can you do it with cotton?

I'm not really sure I've never used cotton to make a net before. If you want to give a shot by all means go! just let us know how it works out!

I worry that it might harm them
