HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Thanks!

Petco runs their sale every couple of months, and it runs for about a month when they do. Pets Supplies Plus also sometimes has $1/gallon but I haven't noticed a pattern to it. You can check your local monthly fliers for both stores on their websites. How can I sign up for the Email alerts? I don't...

WOAH! I was just notified about these types of sales and wanted to know when they would happen! How long will it last?

I've actually thought about doing that but now I know not to thanks !

So I already chatted about this but thought that it might be better to make a topic of it. I was checking on my crabs today (I often forget to) and one of my crabs had come up after a long burial and has a missing limb and the other one (on the left side) is covering his other legs and pinchers.

Not if he's molting. You can move the others but will have to keep the 10 gal set up, feeding, water, until he surfaces.

Thanks! I still have to purchase the tank so it might be a while!

Thanks! I went ahead and put a little sea salt and mixed it with some water. Just in case. I have all be hermit who is molting and I wanted to make sure that if she finishes molting while I am at school she has immediate water.

Hi,
I have 3 hermits and 1 10gallon tank. I will upgrade to a bigger tank within the week but one of my hermits is buried. Would it be safe to remove the hermit? Thanks!

How long is temporary? A day or 2? Will you be digging up any of the crabs to trade?

I will only have to wait a day or 2 I ordered it from amazon prime. My mom doesn’t know for sure whether or not we will be trading.

I have ordered some of the mix but I need a temporary solution. Thanks though!

Hi, I have 3 hermit crabs. 1 is a purple pincher the two others are Eccie. Me and my Mom have hermits and we will be trading crabs so that the species can be together. Now can I use Sea Salt you get from the store? Not iodized but Sea Salt. What is the Salt to Water ratio? Thanks!

Thanks I will be sure to try it.

That is adorable!

I can't really control my humidity, any tips?
