HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Good luck with your veggie diet. You definitely want to do it the right way cuz you'll need all the energy you can get being in college.

Or any other suggestions would be helpful.

You are right the behavior the majority of the time is a result of what is allowed by the parents. It just seems like "in my opinion" that boys just naturally want to bounce off the walls and need reigned in more than girls but I can only judge by what I see in other kids. Maybe parents are just mor...

I've been lucky so far and the area I live has missed all the "severe" weather we've had. About an hour or so northeast and about 3 hours southwest have had major storms in the last month doing a lot of damage.So far just a few dead limbs fall if its windy and good steady rains is all we've had to d...

Your pic isn't showing.

Eco Earth is safe for the crabs if you are giving them a healthy varied diet(check out the food lists at the top of the zoea forum) they shouldn't eat it. If they do eat it won't be much and won't hurt them. The calcium sand they can and will eat as a calcium source but don't use the colored ones us...

Haley can be hard headed especially now she is getting into her teens, but my sisters boy is 100% more so than her. However he does have an attention disorder.The few extra needs of a girl from a mothers standpoint really isn't that hard in my opinion, but would definitely create challenges for a fa...

Thanks crabber you always seem to be more detailed than I am.quote:Originally posted by Crabber85:Hermitcrabs have a very powerful sense of smell so yes the strong odor of the vinegar will irritate the hermitcrabs so you must allow any item cleaned with vinegar to air dry for a minimum of twenty fou...

I remember seeing 13watt on the box this morning but I forgot to look to see if it was the curly kind.Edit: It is a 13 watt curly kind so I guess i'm just going to have to get one of the ultra therm heaters. So for a 20g long I need an 11x11 right? Crabber I was reading something in an email they se...

Well, finally the ultrasound I had Monday showed it is a girl. She was being stubborn and it took forever for her to move where they could get a good enough look to say girl or boy. The last ultrasound before this one I was only 18 weeks along and they couldn't get her to move where they could tell ...

Your not old enough to use the term young people. However, I know the feeling.Glad you had some fun.

Your welcome. I wish crabber85 would put in his 2 cents as well then you would have 2 opinions.

I'll have to look at it but i'm pretty sure I avoided the "curly" bulbs since I know they don't give off heat.Better question is for the 20 gal long tank do you think it will raise it a couple degrees or not? If its the regular bulb.Or do you think I would be better off getting one of those other ki...

You can use the diluted vinegar to wipe the glass and then go back over with just water. Let it air out for just a few minutes before putting the lid on. Yes it is best to air out the item and/or let dry thereby airing it out so the fumes aren't strong. However diluting the vinegar means the fumes w...

1. The 2nd food bowl is what I would have done. Your crab since it just molted will eat more. Basically they eat more right before molting and then right after.2&3. Vinegar is a good cleaner/sterilizer. But I personally would boil the rock and the wood item could be boiled for a short time then bake...
