HCA: Hermit Crab Association

good start! Nice looking crabs too! I would add in a few more inches of play sand and eco - yes it does take a lot! I thought my 55g was bad too, then I did the 125g and barley survived! :oops: You may also want to check out the dollar store for a few fake plants. They love crawling all over them. O...

yup! they are all together. I just moved some Indos, Cavipes and Violas in with them too :) Awe I'd love too see your indos!!! Sent from my LGMS330 using Tapatalk my crabs have changed colors this week. Most purple, the straws are deep deep red. Here are two indos! http://i628.photobucket.com/album...

Yes, you have a PP. They can come in ALL sorts of colors. Right now all of mine are purple and my straws are super red. I fed them something and they all changed colors on me. Very beautiful crab!

Thanks! They all are very cute, with their own personalities. My big perlatus crabs really tug at my heart strings. But my two E's; Bob and Bumble Bee...they are working their way to the top of the chart!

If you want to try bigger pools, I would suggest some Tupperware from the dollar store. It will only cost you a few bucks and that way if they don't use them, you can just pull them out and but the reptile rock dishes back in. Make sure you buy two of each size. One to remain in the sub and one tha...

super cute! E's are fun And its wearing a turbo!

thanks! I love taking pics and sharing them with everyone! They are just so cute

Which are you enjoying most? Your E's or your Ruggies? Sent from my LGMS345 using Tapatalk Both of my E's have dug down, but both of the rugs are up, so its hard to say! They are super tiny, so I think they will be molting for the most part for a while. I am actually surprised the Ruggies are still...

Boomer is still my main man in your tribe but that little BumbleBee...oooooh! Yes Boomer takes the spot light on the daily! Love that little guy! [emoji16] Bumble Bee just gives you that look like yeah yeah I know I am cute, and rightly so! I think he dug down now. I am only seeing one of my rugs u...

Oh my gosh, your crabs are some of the prettiest I've seen! I adore ruggies (I would never own one due to my current small setup!), your's are so precious! :cloud9: . Thanks Jules! They are a good looking bunch, I am pretty smitten with them! Yes, the Ruggies are adorable! I love their build and co...

It's always possible it was nothing u did, death is a part of life and a mystery. Don't be hard on yourself, these guys are not as easy as they look! There is a good chance u had nothing to do with it.

Sorry for the delay, first off, chicken was not the cause of death. Mine eat chicken all the time, and I have never had a problem. The main thing I would say, is the fact that he was the only straw you had. My Straws are an extremely tight knit family. Like 110% more than my PPs. They literally are ...
