HCA: Hermit Crab Association

There have not been any snakes in there yet... I am trying to decide if I am going to keep everyone is tanks or In a rack system. But I will keep that in mind... what about a solid pipe? Size is not an issue neither is cleaning... being 15 has that advantage haha. I have many smaller caged animals s...

Hello!So We are getting one more hermit crab friend from a lady who's son no longer wants them after a few years... They would keep them but it's tank mates have been passing away left and right. I believe he/she is an Ecuadorian... anyway Our tinny ten gallon isn't going to cut is anymore. So I hav...

Thank you

Oh and I notices Lilac on the list what part do you give them? Does it have to be dried?

I have. I just went to looked. No I give just the shell after washing it (without soap) I cook eggs for my rats They ALWAYS get either uncooked shrimp, scollop, clam (They LOVE clam), We tried Smelt but They didn't like them but my rats did. We soaked sea weed to rehydrate it but they didn't like i...

Hi!It feels good to be back! Stupid hackers had to hack every single on of my accounts to every place I went But now I'm back with questions. So only two of our hermits have come up in the last few months and our troubled Pink shelled friend has been making nightly visits! But they have been on the ...

She has definitely molted. I was so happy that she hadn't been stuck in it. I think shes just being stubborn. Thanks for all the help!

I looked at what was in them first and thought that the food did sound a bit iffy so I just grabbed the treat because it sounded fine. Also! The pink shelled Crab that I asked a bit ago about has Finally come up and By the looks of it has molted so No worries of her/him being stuck! Yay! But last ti...

That's all it says... Well usually we don't buy any pre made food for them because I'm a worry wart and we already have had to loss's a few months ago. I sure it wasn't due to foo but more being in painted shells and being so stressed. usually they get Veggies, a small piece of fruit, and a piece of...

So I went to the pet store today to get my male rat blaze a friend (He's very happy now) anyway I felt bad for my sister who had no money so I picked her Hermits and My one hermit a treat. No usually I check online first but this seems pretty safe I just want to make sure and was wondering if they l...

Sorry. I have a lot cage animals so I've kind of always said cage as in tanks too. I have a minni zoo

It's a fish tank not a cage. Mine are a look don't touch pet. They are treated as wild animals as best as we can treat them as such. Shes dug right down so I'm just going to have to see if I can get a picture of her or something when she comes back up.

okay I'll do it as soon as possible... Thank you for all the help! I'm not sure how I'll get a good look at her abdomen seeing that she is WICKED shy but I'll do my best. Thank you!

It's okay. I sadly do not think any one has molted yet. Though I did catch my large crab start to really dig down so I think he may be going down to molt. So should i try to cut the shell away? She comes out at nights and crawls around but only a tiny bit then after fie minutes digs back down again....

She's really not that new we have had her for four months now... She was one of the first three we got.... one past away and one switched shells and does it almost everyday. Now she digs down and stays down for a very very long time. When she came up she was seen for the first time in two months... ...
