HCA: Hermit Crab Association

It's interesting how they all have such different personalities. Overall the new straws are very outgoing.I have one that is shy, and one PP that is really shy. But most of them are out and about a lot. Of course after I posted this they all destroyed a dish of mango last night. But didn't touch the...

We've had our straws about a week, and I have noticed some differences between how and when they eat vs the PP we have. I keep 3 dishes of food, one for crab meal and shrimp, one for fruits and veggies, and one for nuts and peanut butter. It just makes it easier to keep up with and clean. My PP seem...

I ordered them from Reptile City. They shipped same day express right away, and I'm really happy with how healthy the crabs are! They are so much healthier than the ones at Petco. They're settling in really nicely. One is really skittish and isn't coming out much, but the others are very busy at nig...

I wanted to give an update. I still have never heard from LHC. No crabs. No refund. I still have to contact my credit card company, but I've been busy with Christmas. The second company I bought the straws from shipped them right away. They got here very quickly. They look great! Big healthy active ...

I've sent an e-mail asking her to cancel the order and that I would be calling my credit card company. No response. I've been busy with Christmas (who isn't?) but I'm going to call my credit card company to get my money back once I have time. I really don't think she has any intention to ship these ...

So, obviously, I never heard from her. One of my kids had an appointment Friday afternoon, so I didn't have a chance to contact my credit card company. I will do so first thing Monday morning and then go on a hunt for some crabs in town for the kids. One the bright side, my husband had a chance to m...

I sent a third and final e-mail today letting her know that I will dispute the charges if I don't hear from her ASAP. I don't mind waiting, but the lack of communication is unacceptable. I'll let you know if I hear back. I have a feeling I'll be calling my credit card company on Friday afternoon. I ...

Although it's not completely impossible, there's really no chance you'll get your crabs by Christmas. Many times people wait months and months for their crabs from LHC. It's up to you whether you want to cancel the order or try to wait it out. I'm guessing there isn't anyone else to order from? We'...

Hi, I'm new here. We have 3 PP hermit crabs that I got from the the pet store for my kids. There's really not a lot of places that sell crabs around here and I had to go to a lot of pet stores just to find these three. We bought all three that they had. So, I decided to get my kids a couple of straw...
