HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi everyone. I'd like for as many as possible to post as many pictures as possible of crabs performing tricks, being funny, quirkily eating and drink, and just any hilarious stuff. However, if you are like me and have no clue how to post pictures AND have crabs that are extremely shy, a little description would be nice. For example, Almond, one of my crabs, will curl up at the mere sight of a camera and not come out for an hour.

Herc was not to happy when his girlfriend was put into ISO so much so he was trying to open it and get in there lol. Once she was put back with him soon after he went into loving hug mode before guarding her every move lol. He smothers her with love a lil much if she moves he follows.

Mal just hanging out

this is great! keep them coming. Oh, by the way, so yesterday i lifted the cave so i could get my crabs out to play while i changed food and water, and since it was their once-every-two-weeks playtime. i put them back in, and came back in a few minutes. almond was pushing up the bark and fiber substrate to block the cave entrance so i wouldn't be able to get in (like that would do anything) and take him out.

Lol to funny. They do crazy stuff . Herc was "guarding" Ms. Hearts after I put her back in lol so I wouldn't put her back in ISO lol. He loves her very much and is determined to keep her safe no matter what lol. This was taken not long after I took the ISO out lol.

Poor girl gets smooched daily either from him tucking her under him or mashing her shell up against his lol. She never seems to mind it tho lol.

Haha this is Bourne! I put her on my hand and just hung on like this for 10 minutes! She's my bravest crab :3

Love yah Bourne <3

He went over and put an arm around him to make him feel better.
