HCA: Hermit Crab Association

It is a mountain pass. Corners and hills but relatively smooth. The sand is EXTREMELY damp so it 'shouldn't' cave in. I'm going to take everything out except for a few sturdy caves to hide in. I'm also going to scrape a few layers of sand off of the top to take away some of the over 100 pounds of we...

Thanks wodesorel. I've actually used 'your' deep cleaning method before and it worked perfectly with no after stress deaths. But I knew the crabs that were down were done molting already. I'm just worried about interrupting my LARGE molters I think I've decided to just try to move the tank as is. I ...

Thanks, but I have no idea where the molters are, and will have to remove them from the tank anyways not just a deep clean.

I'm moving soon and I have numerous molters. My tank is too big to move as is so I'm going to have to dig them up and put them into smaller tats for the 8ish hour drive. Has anyone had any issues doing this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds like normal crab behavior!

It looks anything BUT bare!!!! It looks absolutely AMAZING! What a great tat! Me and my crabs are jealous of you and your crabs! lol

I've saved all my first shells!!! Even the ones that were broken and ugly (they AREN'T in the tank) lol Great idea! I can't wait to see the difference in my crabs! Hopefully I can take a "year 1" growth picture series!

How much space should each of your crabs have in a tank? Jumbo - 5 gallons each Large - 4 gallons each Med. - 3 gallons each Small - 2 gallons each Teeny/micro - 1 gallon each BUT always remember that they grow bigger and bigger and you might need to eventually upgrade so prepare for the future as w...

I've heard that lots of people put spider plants in their crabitats...As well as grass...

Sorry for being harsh, I didn't realize they were yours, yours...But I still disagree...

I thought the point of having a shell was so they could hide and feel protected (among other things) how can they feel safe in a see through shell?!?!?!
My POV

I double checked and triple checked when I was on the phone...I even asked if there was a fee...You're right, I should have asked for documentation but I thought I was doing the proper thing by calling and triple checking....Apparently not so much... Yea with all the excuses I think it was more of t...

I flew West Jet not that long ago and I PHONED to ask about bringing crabs (I was going across my own Country) they said it was fine as long as they were in a proper container! Well I got to security and they had the hugest fit ever and gave me a TON of petty excuses as to why they weren't going to ...

And???



EDIT
