Of course! I'm not fully sure, I just use this small 5 gallon one from Amazon, here's the link, https://www.amazon.ca/NICREW-Aquarium-Submersible-Adjustable-Waterflow/dp/B08TLK2XXD/ref=mp_s_a_1_4_maf_2?crid=MD14G019ZPNJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bjnHsJQLT86w3jUGPk3aPCwKUW1WPXWnPRpOrO8lwZWYsmH3xdwkcUlZo3GYnv4...

I'd recommend silicone! You can buy tubes of it fairly cheap almost anywhere, just make sure it's aquarium grade, and you might want to let it dry off outside the tank as it gives off fumes, as well as won't stick as well in the humidity in the tank! There are rocks with three holes that my crabs L...

Hello So I adopted two hermit crabs from someone about 3 months back, they came from worse then pet store conditions, but both have recovered! (Yay! :cheer: ) Now the issues. After molting in a 55 gallon tank, there was some aggression from sangria (san), so she and her buddy Tyrian were moved to an...

Thank you! I adopted him from someone else who had him for a few years, but unfortunately don't know the conditions or how often he molted! Another thing I'm worried about is that he was down molting for 3 weeks, but has been up for almost 3 months, and from my other hermit crabs molting, he's not d...

Hey all again! As it says, I have .m big guy (crimson!) Who's had 2 successful molts with me over the 7 months I've had him! (He's a jumbo) But this time he's showing super clear signs of molting, super dusty exo, he's even washed it off sort of a few times taking a bath, and eating lots! Usually th...

Sounds good, thank you! I currently do have some decorations for her to hide in, should I remove them to try and encourage her to eat more? She's mostly been hiding in one as mentioned above

Hello all! I recently got some hermit crabs from kijiji, (as I have all of my crabs), and had put them in a PPDS 5 gal to acclimate them to proper temps as I don't know the conditions they came in. There were 2, midnight and mulberry, midnight was eating great, swimming and drinking, digging in the ...

The antenna broke off as soon as I put her in the big tank with crimson, like within a few hours, she has the thicker part closer to her body and seems to be able to wiggle that around. She has been a bit of a uhm....pain? to crim by following him and wanting to go to the food if he was at the food ...

Curly: They're sort of flexible, but they're mostly dried out and not crunchy (not sure how else to describe freeze dried animals) their organs are all on one side, it's the same for the dried meal worms I have thay you would feed to chickens. They are sort of a light reddish brown orange ish (sorry...

Thank you! What about sun dried shrimp?

Yesterday I had my big guy, crimson come up from his molt. (He's a jumbo, about the size of a softball) I noticed indigo climbing and poking at him once he was up, and didn't think much of it. Crim is very very gentle, and even when indigo was climbing on him, wasn't shelling, a d she wasn't near hi...

Hello! I recently have been trying to expand the meats I'm giving my hermit crabs, and have found a specific brand, pure bites that only contains the meat. They're meant cats as treats. I also have Freeze dried shrimp, plankton, etc..., but should i cook it in the oven to make sure it doesn't possib...

Thank you very much Curly, what you said definitely helped me process her death (yes, slightly dramatic but true, I loved her and her other 5 siblings very much!) And I agree, I believe the conditions from the previous owners who had her definitely had something going on, they had her, a large, and ...

Thank you for your time!
Unfortunately, I went to check on her, and she had passed.
