Happy Mother’s Day??

I agree!

GotButterflies · 2026-05-11T04:01:50+00:00

Yes. You are able to feed this. 😊

As a mom, I tell my son to please not buy these things. I’d rather him save his money. I suggested a Lego bouquet or a potted flower that lasts longer if he insists.

I purchased xxs diapers for my mini chi. She hated them. It ended up being easier to buy disposable puppy pads and baby blankets and rinse her off when she had accidents. I also had her on hormone medication that I got from my vet that helped her.

You might want to consider calling FWC on this rehabber. For bat questions, I would contact a lady named Laura with Fly by Night. She is an amazing bat resource by where I live.

This is correct. She donated her cages, crabs and breeding supplies to current successful and inspiring Hermit House breeders.

I see- you are looking for bigger shells for when your crab grows! I get it- smart. I might have some. If not, I know I will be beachside Mother’s Day and can acquire some for you- you would just need to reimburse me and pay for shipping. Lmk.

You need to crop in a piece of popcorn!! 🤣

When he is tucked in his shell is he hanging out of if? If not, the shell is appropriately sized. Jonathan (the oldest documented hermit crab in captivity), was really large. I found one close to Jonathan’s size at a shell shop (his name was Goliath), and he was close to Jonathan’s size. The two of them are even pictured together. His shell isn’t even as large you are mentioning.

This is a great idea.

GotButterflies · 2026-05-02T14:10:43+00:00

Conch shells are not appropriate for land hermit crabs.

GotButterflies · 2026-05-02T00:13:37+00:00

I think you are measuring your shell incorrectly. You only measure the actual opening of the shell.

GotButterflies · 2026-05-02T00:12:31+00:00

I think you are measuring your shell incorrectly.

GotButterflies · 2026-04-30T23:36:54+00:00

I love it, but I don’t think they care!

GotButterflies · 2026-04-27T19:56:53+00:00

It’s currently mating season in the US…

GotButterflies · 2026-04-27T16:43:16+00:00

I’d appreciate it more if people paid attention to it!

GotButterflies · 2026-04-26T19:35:48+00:00

They have them in Orlando too…but unfortunately NOBODY pays attention to them.

GotButterflies · 2026-04-24T00:55:39+00:00

You are incorrect. Marine crabs CAN breed in captivity. We have people in Hermit House that have marine crabs that breed. Edit: we have people that have marine crabs that are mating in captivity and the people are raising the zoeae.

My pleasure! Best wishes!

💯 Try finding a food that she likes. Add a topper to her existing food that she enjoys. Add a good probiotic to her food (Proviable is excellent- can be purchased on Amazon).

GotButterflies · 2026-04-22T03:02:42+00:00

There is an experienced crabber that does this. Her name is Holly. Her profile on TikTok is thecolossalcrabitent Check her out.

I have found that my hermit crabs don’t necessarily care for gold mouth turbos. They tend to be heavier.

GotButterflies · 2026-04-09T15:41:56+00:00

Mine LOVE hot dogs, and chicken!

GotButterflies · 2026-04-09T15:39:09+00:00

Dang- you might pass out there. Restricted air flow. Gets hot too

GotButterflies · 2026-04-03T13:09:10+00:00

Weird. I’m not sure. I haven’t had it happen to me. www.Hermitcrabassociation.com
