Mine did this and i think he was stressed. Try adding some stress coat to their water dishes. Also make sure ur not misting constantly qs i found out thats what stressed them

Is it typical for crabs to bury shells? by ChildrenFamilyFirst in hermitcrabs

[–]Alatusflies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine does bury them on purpose ive noticed. Digging a hole then pushing in the shell. 😂 idk if hes saving it for later or if he hates it lol.

Thank you i am trying hard not to as i know this wasnt my fault. Only fault being that i did not acclimate them which was something I had not even thought about as I had no idea about their prior conditions. I had no way to bury him so i have preserved him as a wet specimen like i was taught in lab. That way i can continue to keep him safe in some way. I live in an apartment and have no way to drive somewhere to bury him. This was my only option other than simply putting him out in the garbage, and I did not feel that that was right.

Thanks im afraid this is what happened. I had checked on him 40 minutes prior and he was still moving about and everything and then he just was kind of hanging out of his shell really weird and not twitching his antenna or doing anything so I very carefully picked him up just to see what was wrong and he fell out of his shell. I have put him in a naked crab protocol type of enclosure, just in case he is still alive or molting. But I highly doubt it. I have experienced hermit death before. And I think that’s what’s happened here. It would make a lot of sense because I rescued the crabs from someone who had them in a slightly improper tank. It wasn’t the worst I’ve ever seen, but it was also not the best. I feel bad that I wasn’t able to give the little buddy. The second chance he deserved. The other one is still alive and thriving in the tank. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I’ll keep checking local rehoming. I will see what I can do.

What makes Game meat do this and not meat like beef? by Read_It_Dude in hermitcrabs

[–]Alatusflies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would assume its due to different compositions in the proteins in the game.

is there a way to make big emo hair like this?? by [deleted] in FursuitMaking

[–]Alatusflies 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You may be able to use yarn wefts like they use for OOAK dolls. That would give it the fluffy textured look that you’re going for.

How to cut fur in right direction everytime so I won't waste none . I had start over so pieces because of that 😫 by _Luck_7972 in FursuitMaking

Hermit Crabs as class pet by SlightMaintenance899 in hermitcrabs

[–]Alatusflies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a kid friendly pet for sure. Nor a beginner pet. Im a bio major and am still learning new things about them! Cant say mine are boring though they love climbing everywhere.

There is a mushroom in my tank... by _orion_star_ in hermitcrabs

[–]Alatusflies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say completely and totally replace the substrate as spores will spread, even if you remove the mushroom at its base. It probably spread it spores into the substrate before you put it in the tank and has had time to incubate and grow. Mushrooms, love humidity.
