HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Well it doesn't usually but I placed a piece of wood with moss on it in the tank for them to eat. They made a mess! lol So that's why I'm just cleaning the top bit of sand. Thank you for reply. I appreciate it. About got it put back together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I made so much effort...

Thank you all!! I added an inch of sand. Just put it in there and smoothed it out on the top to make it even. Didn't press down or anything like that.

So both my crabs are up and I want to clean the tank (just top of sand really) and add more sand. It seems my sand has settled a little. There is a tunnel that I can clearly see. My question is can I put sand on top of it or do I need to just put the sand around it and not fill the tunnel up. Thank ...

Hi, have the same top w same issue, but no tape. Might want to either put piece of stiff plastic over escape hatch, then tape. Or if you're lucky enough, like me, just weight lid down. I have had 1 escape. That's bc my weight was not down. They WILL try once they know there is a way out. Good luck....

So one of my crabs has escaped twice. So last night I saw how he was escaping lol. My tank is an old aquarium with the aquarium top. I have the holes taped over with black electrical tape. Well he is escaping by climbing my air tubes and then just pushes the tape up as he crawls out lol. Any suggest...

Thank you all!
