HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I personally like adopting the best. That way your not directly taking hermit crabs straight from the wild. They also tend to be a bit healthier for me.

Iv'e used Stress Coat with no ill effects. Instant ocean is also a dechlorinator , so you can use just plain tap water when making it.

Never ever ever dig up a crab! Does he look pink?? How long ago did you get him?? You may have disturbed him while he was molting.

Shower caddy's designed for corner make great shell shops or moss pits.

Wen did you get the crabs? Being lethargic can mean PPS if you just got them, or if condition aren't right.

They all look so cute! Really pretty colors too

Remember that picture you posted a while back about your crabbies planning world domination? I'm telling you, you need to evacuate the house immediately

1. I would go no lower than a 40 gallon minimum. My straws were very active. 2. Depends on tank size. Many of us use either a plastic Tupperware container or a 1 gallon KK with a bubbler in it. 4. The aren't really any special food requirements for them. If you feed foods high in beta carotene I've ...

@sneakepablo, I personally do not know of any reputable sites that sell straws. I got mine from a local mom+pop store in my area.
