HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Thanks! The temp and humidity seem fine now but I KNOW in the winter we will need heat. It gets cold here even in so cal!

So you think having two E's I should get more still? I better get a larger tank first!

Thank you. I think I will start looking in a community forum for a tank.

I really think petsmart should read up on these things so you get the right tank to begin with!!

Is anyone able to identify if they are all same type? And not one that has to be in a very large tank?

Thanks

This guy is super red. Also not the largest.

Hoping I did this correctly to share a photo. This is one of them. Not the largest.

Thank you for your response. I bought the 10gal hermit crab starter kit and of course it came with the calcium sand. UGH! OK, the large one has buried himself again. I do not know what type of crabs these are and I read in another thread that one type needs a very large tank and also they do well al...

Hi, My name is Tiffany. Yesterday, my daughter talked me into getting hermit crabs. Now I am in love with them! We only got the 10 gallon habitat for three crabs. I am pretty sure we need to make the substrate (coco fiber and sand) deeper. The largest crab just burrowed under the large feeding dish....
