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 [...]

Well I haven’t been posting much lately, as ya’ll know! I got into posting for about two years, the standard time I can maintain an obsession, and now it’s fading a bit. Though I still do like to blog and so I will try to keep up on it better. I got a couple new [...]

Well, of the six Hermit Crabs I have at home, two of them died.  I put them in a zip loc and out in the freezing cold as a burial.  Bummer. On a good note, though, three of them seem to be doing well. They have all come out of their molt just fine.  I [...]

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 [...]

Which, in any other context, might sound like a bad thing. I put the sand in the tank today and, of course, forgot my camera. I’ll have to take some pics next week. I plugged in the UTH – Under Tank Heater – and put in my thermometer and humidity meter. So it’ll go all [...]

I have been too busy to set up my crab tank. Ugh. It still sits in the same state it did before I went on vacation. I got four rescue collies in from Houston and have been spending most of my time with them, and with my own dogs, and trying to manage our house [...]

Woo Hoo. My glass lid came for the tank, and my thermometer and humidy meter. So all I really need now is sand. Oh and to knit up some hemp climbing things for them… ugh, hammocks that is what they are called. LOL my brain is not too sharp today. I plan on getting play [...]

My under the tank heater came yesterday. Yay! So now I can start getting the temp right. Well, I need to get the sand in there, first. maybe today I can stop at Home Depot and get some play sand. I wonder if I’m supposed to boil all of it to sanitize it. Boiling a [...]
