HCA: Hermit Crab Association

thanks for the reassurance, wolfnipplechips!

hi all! long time no post, so it's nice to see all the activity still on the boards! :) i was wondering, my indo's are large-ish (either a large medium, or a smallish large), and i've had them since around the new year. for as long as i've had them, i've not seen them burrow to molt. they are active...

well, fate4003, i didn't get any extras either, and i ordered a total of 6 this go around (2 blues, 2 straws, 2 indos), so don't feel badly. this was my second order (6 e's first time) and i didn't get anything free then, either. i didn't "ask" for extras either time. i can understand why you feel t...

LOL nevi! i had to run out because i forgot an ingredient for a pot of chili i'm making. i was rushing like a madman through the store, and people were almost jumping out of my way. i ran by apologizing profusely, but it appears that i didn't miss the shipment!

They look a bit stressed, no baths I'm leaving them alone.

now it's the waiting game for mine.

got mine too!

Invert Mom, we've been receiving emails from LHC indicating that she's just gotten them in over the past weekend, and so, they've not had time to destress. normally, from what i understand, they only ship crabs that have had time to destress, and even molt in her care. since they haven't had that op...

Where are you ordering them from? I had seen a website once upon a time but was a while ago. i used this link as a reference: http://crabstreetjournal.com/xoops/modules/news/article.php?storyid=11 the store that is referenced in the page doesn't seem to exist anymore though. i've found this site th...

i'm going to do the same, Zoey. i'm just going to put them in the main, and get the hypoaspis miles - i already have a fungus gnat problem i need to resolve.

Forgive me for being stupid but what is hypoaspis? I was thinking about getting some H Miles mites. I emailed her and say if she feels they are heathy enough for shipping to please ship and that weather would be great for them. Also asked about another blueberry. I got an email from andrew so maybe...

Hypoaspis Miles or H. Miles. 6 of one, half dozen of the other. maybe she got some help for the holidays?

hmm... i guess it's a question of whether it's best to stress them twice, or just have them stressed for a full week or longer? with regard to mites, i think i'm resigned to getting the hypoaspis - i have issues with the fungus gnats, and everything i've tried, they just seem to find their way into ...

i just heard from LHC today, and she's going to be shipping today or wednesday!

i asked her if i could amend my order to add two perlatus, and if she could ship in early january, and she said it won't be a problem!!! w00t w00t!!! so i'll be getting two perlatus, two blueberry's and two indo's. SO EXCITED!

*argh* it's going to be 57 degrees today. not too cold. eesh - such a test of my patience.
