Well finally, after over a year, I have redone the Crabitat. From what I’ve read you are really supposed to do a deep clean, which means to remove and replace the entire substrate, about every six months. Well that’s not gonna happen with me… sorry crabbies! My Hermit Crabs will get that about once a [...]

I need to keep track of which crab is where and who is molting and who is not… so I’m going to do this here, as well as on my Flickr page. So here we go! This picture is of the 20 gallon long I have upstairs… there is only one crab in here. I got [...]

Okay.. I know, I’m bad. I like hermit crabs and I can keep them alive. It’s taken a year for me to get enough confidence to get more crabs. There was an ad in a local online classifieds that two little hermit crabs needed a home, for free. So off I went and I snagged [...]

Isn’t he a cutie!? I love hermit crabs. And… strangely enough, I haven’t managed to kill them off and it’s been a year since I’ve gotten them. Yay! I tend to kill off fish anymore… mainly because I don’t have the time to clean their tank every other week. Hermit crabs, however, don’t need so [...]

It’s been about a week now and I can only find two of the crabbies. I am pretty sure one is under the substrate molting… I won’t worry for a little bit, but I am worried just a tiny amount. There are a lot of holes in the sand, and some piles, where I think, [...]

I had a hermit crab dream last night. I’ll let you click on the link to read about it on my dream diary. It was an interesting dream, not really good, not really bad, just kinda fun. I like the size of my hermit crabs. I don’t want them to get any bigger, though I [...]

Well the crabs are in their new, permanent, home. I think they are happy. Humidity is staying up, Temp is steady. they cruised around a bit this morning but now are resting, fighting, or being more mellow. To the left is a picture of the crabitat. To the right is a picture of a crab [...]

Here they are! I have to head out, they are safe in their temporary home until they get into their big home tomorrow. The humidity and temperature are good. They are very lively. One already switched shells, another is checking out the coconut hut. They are so curious and adorable!

Yikes! The Hermit Crabs come tomorrow! They are on their way now, as I type this, overnight delivery. I’m going to get three of them. I have a temporary crabitat setup at home so they will stay here with me at night, then I’ll take them to work where I have their permanent setup, tomorrow. [...]

I ordered the hermit crabs! Woo Hoo! I ordered them from The Crabbage Patch. I’m going to the small hermit crabs. I talked to the gentleman at The Crabbage Patch and he recommended more sand for the mediums. I will still add more sand for the smalls but this will give them more sand to [...]
