HCA: Hermit Crab Association

2 crabs. I know it's not much but by my birthday (February) I'd like to have 5 crabs which would fit your rule. I'll probably just get one until then

I'll post all the pictures I have of the old tank and once I get the new one, I'll post those too. My crabs absolutely love it! Would getting another crab be ok though?

So I got this really cool hideout for my crabs for Christmas. It's green and ball shaped but with a large whole in the middle so crabs can get in and out. Since it's kinda moss looking I got some real moss to put inside it. About an hour later I can't find the crabs. So I look in the hideout and all...

I have a good friend of mine who has turtles and cleans his tank once per year. I'll take you guys advice and spot clean- if you will- every week or so

Personally I clean mine once per month and it usallly takes me around an hour and a half. What time does it take you? How often do you clean it? Besides total clean outs how do you keep your tank clean? I'd really like to know

Please go see my other post venting for an update

Thanks for your guys responses. I'll probably just stick with 3 or 4

Thanks again!! 12" is the highs of the tank. All my crabs and the ones that I plan on getting are quite small, small enough to put on my three fingers, pointer, middle and ring. But my hands are quite small as I'm 11. Of course I would not hold them like that

Thanks! I don't know if I'm getting one but I'd really like to!

Thanks!! I'm planing to use 1bag of play sand then use an EE brick and rotate in that order

Hey! I'm getting an exo terra 24x18x12 and someone refereed me here to look at the plexi glass thing in your tank, that's what I'm going to have to do too!

Anyone know where to get some good Strawberrys?

Where (more rather what pet store) have you guys bought your most successful crabs (live/d the longest and were friendly)? My crabs are from Petsmart and Petland (don't worry it was a petland that had them in a proper tank) and they are really shy. I'd love to hear what you guys have to say

How many crabs do you guys think can live in a Exo Terra Low medium 24x18x12? I'm aware of the modifications I will have to make to it. I've seen it person and I think probably 7... but I want other crabbers opinion. I'm really hoping to have five crabs (three more than I have right now)

I usallly use Play sand and I'm trying eco earth as soon as I get my new tank. What do you use? Play sand or eco earth? Both? Something else?
