HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Lol to funny I have a Pippin but it is a cat . All lovely crabs!

I did...but couldn't bring myself to throw it away. You know how people save their babies' first shoes? Well... :lol: By the way, he just switched again: http://i.imgur.com/Dvi889X.jpg Lol I am with you I still have all the starter shells :P! I couldn't bring myself to throw it out either. Instead ...

Aw she is so cute!

Wow you have such beautiful crabs ! I love that straw! How he/she looks like flames ^.^.

Ok so I really don't think that visually I am that interesting while I am crocheting but apparently Herc seems to think that I am :lol:. His face was pressed against the glass watching my every move lol. You know they are apparently not only entertainment for us to watch but we are for them as well ...

Ok so I haven't really had a chance to post this until now but apparently Teensy and Sammy gave me a nice double surprise 2 days ago. So my shocker 1 was Sammy is a boy >< and my lovely 2nd surprise was this: https://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a5d928b3127cc9ba57f25fd15900000010O00Batm7du2atAe3bj8/cC...

Congrats!

Tunnel party for your crew . I always wonder just what they are doing own there when they aren't molting . Starring at dirt just does not seem like much fun to me lol but then again I am not a hermie .

Congrats! If he is really hairy then he just molted and it will be easy to tell. Oh and yes they love coral . Lol it is good that he went down though. That first molt, stressful for us also, is a very important molt . GL n best wishes to your lil guys !

They usually dig down for a few days to destress. This can take a few days to a week or even 2 weeks, depends on the crab. I wouldn't worry at the moment . It is normal.

Lol Idk what she could be looking for. Nor have I ever seen a crab sporting 2 shells before her :lol: she is an oddball. So glad others have big dreamers also :D. She is so much fun lol. She loves the shell that she is in always protects it and if she leaves it she always goes back to it lol. She ju...

Thank you^,^! They really do tho, there is never a dull moment in their tat lol. Someone is always doing something and someone is always in the food bowl lol. They are always active even during the day. Atm Herc is dun bathing under his light lol Reese and Hearts are in their mineral bowl stuffing t...

I know she is soooo cute lol. She likes to be pet but won't let me hold her much lol and when I do I lightly have to hold her tail cause she loves to jump. Teensy tho I can walk around with her in my pocket and she just happily looks around or falls asleep lol. I did have to rofl laughing last night...

:lol: Thanks! They pick such pretty shells to walk around in sometimes. She has always been my turbo girl, it is all she will wear. Now her Bf Herc will only wear snail shells lol. Well I should say he wears both but only because she spend more time sitting on his back while he is carrying her aroun...
