HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Got 85% off at Michaels!! I believe it is complete! Only question is I put the shell shop on corner shelf, does it need sides?

WOW! Absolutely gorgeous penthouse crabitat -- you did an amazing job (and 85% off always makes everything ever better ). The crabs will just love all that dense greenery and, as long as they're not all in green turbos, you'll still be able to spot them .

Re shell shop: no, no sides are needed -- even when shells are put into a basket or a hammock, the crabs still manage to throw them all out anyway. Just get used to picking up and rinsing shells daily...it's one of the perks of being a crab parent.

Thank you if it wasn't for this site, I would be lost! Still have so much to learn. Hoping they will be climbing like crazy now. For some reason my two bigger guys pick the biggest, heaviest, bulkiest shells. I got some green turbos from Joann's today, none are big enough for the 2. Pretty sure those will have to wait, a while, my hubby will freak if I do anything more

Amen! We all learn so much from one another (and our crazy crabs) here every day. I was crabbing for over 6 years before I found HCA and am amazed that my crabs managed to survive in spite of me all those years .

Looks amazing! Great job! I love the flowers.

Nice setup!

OMG; thats incredible! Why are so many people so talented in setting up amazing crabitats?

That looks so great! I love the orange flowers.
