So my husband and I woke up this morning to get ready for work and he went to put his boot on and yells "babe your crabs in my boot" lol. Kinda funny actually it was funny but Im trying to figure out how he escaped. Because the lid is most definitely secured with locks and heavy things on top to make sure. But I noticed him missing a week ago and thought that he had gone down to molt. Well, boy was I wrong. I feel awful for him though. He hasn't ate or drank in a week that I know of. When I put him back in he popped out his shell instantly like thank God im home and started walking around. Should i be worried or is there anything i need to do special for him since he hasnt had fluids or food in a week. My poor Nugget!

Hes making this weird move. Its hard to see if tried my best.
Do i need to have green sand and worm casting in the tank at all times?
One of my crabs came up from molting finally and looks so happy and healthy. But he is acting skiddish. I have another one that is a mommas boy and follows me everywhere I go in the tank. And last night when she came up from her molt she was looking in the shell shop and the other one was climbing the branches like always like he was stalking her and then he came down and put her on her back and wouldn't let her go. What do i do about that. I instantly opened the lid and separated them and gave them both shells and then the aggressor buried himself. Weird.
Every night I roll over and there he is. Right beside me. Does anyone else have a certain crab that is really attached to them? He stays on my side of the tank. He follows my hand. He tries to get on my had through the tank. Sometimes I feel like he's trying to tell me something.
Hi I have to move in an emergency and need to rehome 5 crabs. Purple pinchers. Some are large some are medium. I have twonE's too if you prefer them. Id rather keep my purple picjers together. But 5 have to go. It will be next week. Im.located in VA.
I have to move like now. I cant take my aquariuam with me so what can I do to use as a temporary setup until my new aquariuam gets there. I have to take the basic essentials with me when I go im leaving so much behind it's killing me. But im not leaving them. Can I use one of those 113qt or bigger Tupperware containers with locking lids what can I do. Its an relationship abusive issue where he has threaten me and my pets so my family has told me to play it cool and im slowly sneaking things over little by little and the last thing im taking is them when I go for good. But please I dont know what to do i dont want nothing bad to happen to them. How do I heat it. Keep humidity and temp right. I know I can add decor bit this night be a stupid question but will suction cups stick it it? Im a nervous wreck any and all help is appreciated.
I have 5 molting crabs and I have a ant infestation that came out of nowhere that showed up everywhere in my house.All of a sudden, what do I do?I've set up emergency tanks for the ones that are already above ground.But what do I do to keep the ones that are underground alive?I'm changing the substrate.I'm cleaning the tank.I'm bowling.All items
I went to remove their leftover food this morning and pick up their shells and put them back in their shell catty like always cause they like to knock them out and when I pick the shells up, like 50 ants went crawling up my arm, what do I do? And how do I fix a problem? I'm freaking out.I don't want any ants on my babies.
If anyone is looking for a new aquariuam. Mayfair has a 120 gallong on sale for $50;for today only. Ill find the link and share it
Is this item safe for hermit crabs?
Can you rearrange their habitat too much for them. Mine seem to come out more everytime I rearrange or add more stuff. Like I made a diy lid and added a hanging coconut and some greenery from it and found some grapevine pieces laying around and added them to the tank for More piece to crawl on. I just order. Some more fake plants to be hung from the top to give them hiding places. Is there anything I can add or should I do?
Is she supposed to be this color?
Does anyone know where to find bigger aquariums that are free other than fb marketplace because I dont use it. Im in the US.
Does anyone know why her color would be like this. I bought her this way. Brought her home. Made my own diy forage mix out of rose hip roses hibiscus clover daisy dandelions and leaf litter. Gave her major calcium boost. Now she has pink speckles and is still white with one white leg. She's Ecuadorian
I think Apollo is stuck. This is his favorite climbing log.But i've never seen him in it like this with his leg.Hanging out and i'm scared he's stuck because I haven't seen him move in two days. Any suggestions
So I bought these treat balls that are meant to be interactive for them so waiting to see how this goes. One is stuffed with strawberry the other coconut. They've had great reviews. I hope my babies like them.
