These crabs have been adopted!

All 3 of my PPs are now up from their molts. Is anyone interested in adopting them? They are healthy and have been with me for about 12 years, but it's time for them to go to someone who can take care of them better. My 90 gallon take setup can go with them if you are interested.

I'm still looking for someone to adopt the 3 remaining PPs that I have. Ideally, I'd want to wait until all 3 of them are up from their molts. One just came up, one it mid molt and the third went down to molt about a week ago. Timing of May to July may be when all are up. I'm in a suburb of Columbus...

I only had 3 come up from molts this summer/fall so there are only 3 that need a new home. I suspect all will go down to molt in the next month or 2, but I still am looking for someone to adopt them whenever they come up in the spring. Again, the entire 90 gallon setup is available for a crazy low p...

I may only have 3 crabs remaining. Only 3 came up from molting this summer. 2 are med/large and 1 is medium. I don't know if the count makes a difference for anyone wanting to adopt. As I've said previously the entire 90 gallon setup is available to someone who adopts them for an insanely good price...

Weezycrab - Thanks for your response. How big is your tank and how deep is your substrate? I'm willing to travel to rehome the hermit crabs, but would want to do it only once and only one crab is up right now. Two were up and the smaller one went back down a month ago.

I've been taking care of hermit crabs for a long time, but it's time to have the 4 I have remaining go to a home that is more interested in in them and better able to care for them. I have 4 crabs, with one of them medium and the others large. One is probably border line jumbo. Right now only 2 are ...

what do you have it on?

It's on a custom built wooden aquarium stand that I bought used when I go the 90 gallon tank.

B. E. A. UTIFUL! I love the deep sub and how 'full' everything looks. No wasted space always looks good. How big are your crabs? Sent from my cp3705AS using Tapatalk Thanks! My crabs are medium to large, with my biggest one at the upper end of the large range. I posted pictures of them a couple of ...

These are my 4 purple pinchers right after they moved back into the tank after I changed all the substrate. Bo - He's the crab I've had the longest (10 years). He's the second one I got. https://photos.app.goo.gl/jKSawU4BVWcp2WLD8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/MyVrVNpCFVnR2tbZA Moose - She's my largest ...

Thanks CrabbyLover77! I'm hoping that worked in the post I just did.

Here's my 90 gallon that I just did a full substrate change on this week and set back up with updated tank decorations. Sorry about the monitor reflection on the left of the tank. The color difference on the two sides is due to my UVB bulb on the left which puts off a more yellow light. I have 12 in...

I followed the instructions for posting an image from Google photos and it didn't work. I did it both with the instructions to open the image in a new tab and copy the URL, then I tried creating a link to share. In both cases I used the insert image button from the board. Neither way worked. Anyone ...

I had a Strawberry that was attacked and was similar to your crab's situation. I documented the process in this thread:

I use a combination of Ultratherms and lights. That allows me to keep both at a medium level. Also, if you have a craft store nearby you may be able to get clear vinyl to cover your screen top. I use that with magnetic tape around the edges to allow it to connect with the lid. Not a lot of expense, ...
