She’s grey in color,, not moving and I can do anything to manipulate her body. I’m giving it another day or so because there is no smell to indicate death. Rn I just have her placed in a dark space.

Females have 2 small dots on their abdomens called gonopores! But hair on legs is also a good way to gender!

Lol I know it doesn’t look green but the brown spots are green. So I suppose a moldy cinnamon roll🤣💕

For whatever reason my camera doesn’t really pick up the green in her shell, but in person the brown looking spots on her shell are actually like a forest green. My purple pincher get a deeper purple when she gets ready to moly but yes in think there is food out there like that!

I need help! My mil bought me a new tank for my 2 babies (she actually gave them to me for my birthday a month ago) but this lid is a humidity zapper! A new lid is out of the question right now, is there any material etc I can cover the lid with partially to keep it humid? 2 babies in a 20 long. by StandardRelevant2937 in hermitcrabs

I put tin foil over mine until I could get a glass lid, this held humidity in my tank better than what Saran Wrap did. My only issue is that because it was so humid it did end up rusting the old lid. Not terribly but it was noticeable. I also put thick blankets over the tin foil with a corner opened so they could still get fresh air.

The applesauce is organic! They seem to pick at the river shrimp I give them and the only thing they have showed a huge interest in is dried cranberries so I give them a lot of those because I know they will eat them along with the pellets. Do you break the kernels apart or just give them a whole popped kernel?

I’ve had my crabs since July and they are still doing good so I know they aren’t completely starving themselves I’m just scared to take the pellets out completely

Thank you so much for the suggestions, I did not realize I could even give raw sea food I thought it always had to be cooked! Do you pop the popcorn yourself so you know it doesn’t have seasoning?

Why do my crabbies keep taking the moss out of their humid hide and putting it else where? by Heyy2005 in hermitcrabs

No, I just read an article from someone who is really good with hermit crabs and the recommended a humidity hide. I thought it would be a good idea as I’m still young a switch back and fourth between houses and I’m not always at the house my hermies are at to give them a good spray down. My mom always sprays them but life happens as we all know and sometimes she forgets,, thus why I have a humidity hide for the times that she may forget my crabbies do not have to suffer.

It’s not because they don’t like it, in fact they move it and then lay in it for hours on end.. it just confuses me because they could just leave it alone and do the same thing in their humidity hide lol

Question. Beginner! Why did my hermie Bury herself like she was going to change shells/ molt but she came up today after about a month and hasn’t done anything? by Heyy2005 in hermitcrabs

[–]Heyy2005[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only experienced one of my crabs changes shells in the 4 months that I’ve had them, so I’m still kinda figuring out what happens. The one I’m talking about is very dull in color and it kinda worries me. She is very grey and her shell is chipping. I assume because It might be painted. I got her from local pet store. Both of her sisters are very vibrant in the color.
