Okay! I have a DIY humidifier made. Simple simple. I bought a whisper air pump for $12.99 at Petco (Sonny got to came with and he had fun). And some tubing, and an air stone. I hooked up the tubing to the pump and the airstone on the end, and plopped it into a Mountain [...]

Well I finally measured the tank all three ways and figured out it’s a 20 gallon tank. I think it’s a nice size. It might be a 20 gallon tall but I’m not sure. I ordered a couple more things the other day. I glass hood for the top, and a humidity gage from this [...]

I measured the tank today… to see what size of plastic lid I will need. It measures 23″ long and just over 12″ wide. Those are the opening measurements for the lid. One that will fit inside… though maybe lids fit outside? I will have to check on that. The outside measurements are 23.5″ long, [...]

This is the Cholla Wood I bought off of a local paper. Only $10, too. I like the look of it! The crabbies should like it. It has been recommended on the various sites I’ve been reading about Hermit Crabs. They can climb up it. Not sure I will use all of it, but probably [...]

This is just a test of the new PhotoPress plugin I just added. Since I hope to post many crabbie pictures as time goes by, I thought a good photo album plugin was in order. Figured out how to post the images.. now I have to figure out where the album is so I can [...]

Well I was able to clean out my new (freecycle used really) tank today. Here is a picture of the tank before the cleaning. It wasn’t really bad. And I’m not sure what type of cleaner I can use on the inside that is safe. I’ll have to go and post about it on the [...]

Okay.. well, my first step is in place. From what I have read, crabbies need lots of roaming space, and they have to be able to dig under the sand to molt. Without sand to dig under, they will die. And we don’t want that to happen. I got a nice sized aquarium yesterday from [...]

Oooo! Well, this is my new blog, and it’s going to be all about Hermit Crabs. I don’t have any yet, but thought I would blog about my progress of getting a crabitat and setting it all up, getting crabs, caring for them, and learning all about them. So join me in the next weeks [...]
