HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Definitely with you on being tight for money right now. Check apps like LetGo, even eBay can have great deals on tanks. I’ve gotten most of mine all used. Remember to try to stick with $1per gallon on used tanks over a year old or close to it, unless they have a nice wooden stand with them, then the...

He is absolutely precious! Sending healing crabby vibes for little sweetheart.

I am so sorry for what happened to your crabby, you seem like your doing all you can for him at this point. You have 18 crabs in a 30 gallon tank? Your attack could have been because it is a little overpopulated. With your size of crabs, micro, tiny, and small, I still think you need to be at least ...

I can’t ever get over James and that tiny shell! Lol! Crabby7, that’s cool you found an E like that, super good luck! We think we have the perfect shell (or shells) and they just don’t change until they’re good and ready or pick the last one we ever thought they would. It’s just one more thing that ...

You’ve done a great job, beautiful!

Looks great!

I don’t know if I’d prefer to fold my abdomen in half to keep it in my shell. Lol! @Overmountain1, post a pic of BigE in his old shell! Lol!

Thank you. That’s good! They sure are good at making us wonder and worry. Lol!

No problem.

They like to make tunnels just to hide and play in too, she will backfill if she is going to molt.

It’s hard to measure with little legs in the way. Lol! Some sell by opening and some sell by shell length. My artwork isn’t the best but here’s how to measure for opening and shell length.

Just amazing! Keep up your awesome work!

Can you check and see maybe if she’s stuck? I’ve had my little a Paco do this, luckily he wasn’t stuck but I have heard of the smaller ones going to hide inside the bigger shells and getting stuck. He’s not micro but I do have some of the captive bred babies so I can imagine how far one of those lit...

Everyone has already given you the best tips, I just wanted to wish you luck. It’s hard when your family/others don’t understand how much you love your pets, no matter what kind they are. I hope everything goes well for you and Mr. Krebs. <3

Aww! What a little sweetheart! I hope he makes a full recovery for you.
