  • How do folks care for hte emotional well being of crabs?

    I ask because I don't really see them as really having much of an emotiona need, but would someday like to get some.

    I don't want to be a crappy crab owner.

  • @teamninjathe4th Yipes! *hides*

  • Pretty cool. 

  • Hmmm, It depends who you ask, some people like sand, some like coconut threads and some like other stuff... I have seen some people with split their tanks and put half sand, half coconut. I personally like sand because I can filter it and get out all the poop and stuff.

  • No, aren't shredded coconut shells better?

  • Cool vid, but you should probably use sand as your substrate instead of those rocks so your crab(s) can bury themselves and molt, Mine are constantly buried. -I have 7 in a 20 gallon tank

  • my hermit crabs are chicken shit! if i go up to the tank they will hide in the shell until im out of the room

  • He looks like a PP(Purple Pincher). Very nice. I have a few myself. Coolest pet ever. lol C:

  • i heard hermit crabs arn't treated properly at pet stores so, it must have ben eager to get into a better suited shell....

  • mine just changed shells to i put her in for like 5 mins and she changed, i guess the store dident have more shells

  • How are your crabs doing now? Update please. I have two of them myself. Love 'em!
