HCA: Hermit Crab Association

so i want to improve my crabitat even more. i want to be a perfect owner from now on, is there a third substrate that i could add? i have eco earth, will be getting playsand. would moss work? what is the right moss called? also how do i send a picture of the crabitat? could i get the right moss from...

that is the right attitude, i would die for my crabs. good work, but how can you carry that 121 gallon tank?

can live moss and plants grow in eco earth and playsand? i want to get playsand.

i know hermit crabs are omnivores, what little creature can you feed them? crickets? or what? or would they just leave other insects alone?

today i was upset about something, and i decided to hold them and they made me tired, so sweet, those tiny creatures. tired in a good way, and so calm.

okay, so i have been told a while ago by someone on this site that playsand is better than calcium sand, so now my question is what store do i get it from besides home depot? also is it called playsand, or can it be called reptile sand or something like that? if so then it might be at petsmart, but ...

how did she get eggs? did you bring her to the beach? i thought that it was impossible to have that happen in captivity. have any other crabs? or do you think that she did that before she got shipped to the pet store?

very sorry to hear that, be sure she is dead though, crabs have a tendency to be very inactive before they molt. if she smelled fishy then she probably was dead, very sorry if she is dead. can't imagine how sad i would be if mine died. they are hard to replace in your heart, but not money wise, and ...

welcome back crabber 85, i missed your knowledge, hope your dad is okay!

i have two pps, one of mine is a massive one, and he even pinched me once, he has a massive big pincher! the other has been climbing to the top evry day, he is smaller, and he ripped the top off twice, he climbed to the top of his temporary container when i was cleaning their cage. he climbed to the...

good for you, they are harder than pps, but more active. although they won't change shells as much.

no i know what kind i have, what i want is a quiz to test my knowledge, i saw those websites, i have seen every website.

how do you check plants and foods in zoea?

every website, including reliable ones that i have read have said that you shouldn't give them citrus, it wears down their teeth.

the thing is you did good, but don't be surprised if after they molt they have ten legs, because they are suppossed to have ten, not six, they are decopod crustaceans, they must have lost limbs.
