HCA: Hermit Crab Association

MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ Hi, my name is Nancy and I live in Monmouth County, NJ. I am willing to drive up to 1.5 to adopt a hermit crab in need of a home. I have a 20 gallon tank, with 2 PP’s, one is molting right now and I think the active hermie is lonely. My crabitat is nicely setup, with 6 inches of...

Very cute!!! How did you create and setup the wheel?

Sometimes if I notice my crabitat is a little stinky smelling, I'll snoop around and it usually is because there is a piece of old food hiding somewhere that I didn't see. My crabs like to drag their food around, especially into the coconut hut! [emoji849] The basil and mint snippings sound interest...

Nice crabitat!!! Very creative! How did you make the ladder or did you buy it somewhere?

After 4 hours I got my hermies moved and resituated in their new tat. This move 15 minutes down the road was actually more stressful than the move through 3 states. Within minutes of being placed in a large Tupperware a fight breaks out. I've never seen them fight! Unfortunately by the time I broke...

Love this picture!!

I love it! You did a great job! I really like what you did with the water dishes with the plants in the middle. I might have to steal your idea [emoji6]. One of my guys is eating out of the same dish you have right now. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170722/c036fa65ef13832dc3a8d28843fd0d19.jpg ...

You're crabitat is coming along nicely [emoji3]I would also get something for them to climb on, as they love to climb in the wild. A cholla branch is a good ...

Thank you, I'll be getting something to read temp and humidity, and when I get the chance I'll take a better picture. Sorry if I seemed like I took offense to any help I was given. I never mean to sound rude or mean. Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk You didn't! [emoji4] you're good! I hope i...

I get my worm castings from The Hermit Crab Patch. My crabbies love it!

I'm so sorry for your loss! It is heartbreaking! The first time I lost one of my hermies I was devastated [emoji22] Rest In Peace, little guy.

I'm wondering if their shells are too small....when they go in them are they able to retract fully into them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk All but one of my crabs have a shell they can fully retract into. The one that is in a shell that is too small is in there by choice lol. He was in a shel...

So exciting!!! It's fun starting to build a new crabitat! Can't wait to see more photos! [emoji6]
