HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi everyone!

I just received my new terrarium and have all the items ready to start putting it together. How do y’all reccomend attaching the plastic egg crate to the sides of tank? I can’t figure out what would be best to use.

Thanks in advance!

What size tank do you have? We use tension rods. I wrap them with hemp or jute rope so the crabbies can grip them. You can attach other climbing stuff to the egg crate too, like Cholla, fake plants and shelves. I recommend using a pair of sharp wore cutters for cutting it. Scissors are difficult and the plastic flies all over! Oh, and I attach the rope with zip ties so it doesn't come off or unravel.

Hi! I just wanted to say welcome to the HCA!

Hiya! Welcome! I added it to my 65 gallon tank and honestly I didn't use anything to attach them! I put them in first and then added sand, the sand creates a LOT of pressure and pushes the egg crate against the tank walls. I can't even budge it when I want to, i.e use it to attach something too.
