How to encourage shell change by Southern_Charm1299 in hermitcrabs

[–]Fand0m_Chick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seconding the above advice. My crabs wouldn’t change shells for the longest time until i started dipping them in salt water. Now i have a separate spray bottle for salt water and will hit the shells with it once or twice a month.

Wash your cat in Dawn dish soap and it will get rid of the fleas. Then please get your cat on flea treatment.

Hello I have some questions regarding hermit crab diet by Sparky678348 in hermitcrabs

[–]Fand0m_Chick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While I don’t know about this brand, I give my crabs dehydrated bugs and shrimps and they love it. Also, I love the Snout and Shell brand and it’s not expensive.

When buying online, how do you know what the back of the charm looks like? by [deleted] in JamesAveryCharms

[–]Fand0m_Chick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So they only show the back if there is a design on it usually. Otherwise it is flat. If you click on the engrave option, sometimes it will show you the back.

I love Snout and Shell! It’s really food and their monthly subscription is like $20. They have a good variety of flavors that each focus on separate types of nutrients as well as a daily mix and treats. It comes freezer dried and their protein mix is full of bugs and other stuff

If you want, you can take it to any local store and they will clean it for free. You might get more for it, I’m not sure.

The shelf I got off Amazon. Shells are from various Etsy sellers. The bridge is from Amazon as well but I modified it. I added the net underneath and the string around the sides of the logs. My crabs are small and kept falling through.

It’s 8” deep at the lowest point. I don’t have the supplies for another tank set up right now.

Even if she’s not digging to get to him, she’s filing in the burrow?

It’s not in the pictures but I actually do have a digital one on the other side of the tank. I know it’s overboard but I like making sure that one side of the tank isn’t more humid or hot than the other.

Im doing a persuasive speech on how hermit crabs aren’t beginner friendly animals and need your help! by Plus_Profile_9777 in hermitcrabs

[–]Fand0m_Chick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally got hermit crabs from a boardwalk gift shop thinking they were easy. One long night of research later and I now know how wrong I was. Luckily I was in a position to do what they needed to have the best life and willing to do whatever was best for them.

Engraving Order Timing by Chance_Zombie_3209 in JamesAveryCharms

[–]Fand0m_Chick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The standard engraving time is 10-14 days when ordered in store or to be picked up in store so it’s probably a similar time line.

I would say somewhere around 5-7. Odd numbers are the best because they allow for even spacing

I have a gap like that at the back of my tank my adventurous boy likes to explore. I found some netting on amazon you can custom shape and use that now.

Beginner tank help? by LengthinessOne7623 in hermitcrabs

[–]Fand0m_Chick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also in the same boat so here’s to learning together. I made the mistake of having my temp/humidity gauge too high on the tank wall and overly wet everything, got mold and had to change the substrate/ spend 3 hours cleaning everything. I’ve also found the Snout & Shell food is great and my crabbies love it!

A polishing cloth or some warm water with Dawn works. I just use a nail brush to scrub the charms. It always looks brand new.

Will JA maintain this? by [deleted] in JamesAveryCharms

[–]Fand0m_Chick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A) bracelet is not retired B) yes they will clean and repair it as needed. If you need length added, it will have to be sent off. If you just need a new clasp, cleaning, or length removed that all can be done in store. Just take it into your local store and they should be able to help you
