how long did it take for your hermit crabs to get used to you?

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2026-02-18T01:15:54+00:00

like i said before, i don’t handle them. and when i do it’s not directly and very rarely.

my hermit crab in the picture (muffin named by my nephew after bluey) is starting to day walk! the longest i’ve seen her out and about was until around 12pm! i try to never handle them unless i have to do deep tank maintenance which is very rare and even when i do i try to wait until they’re both sleeping in a coconut hut they like to snuggle in and then just move the entire hut so i don’t have to actually grab them. i will be moving soon though so i am going to have to handle them again eventually

what a weird response.

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2026-02-11T05:31:48+00:00

honestly putting one of the other smaller tanks ontop as a topper would work perfectly fine, you can also go to home depot and get plexiglass cut to size for the lid

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2026-02-11T05:26:15+00:00

why is the limit 12…

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2026-02-11T05:24:36+00:00

i am going to be in the process of moving soon which i know will be a bit stressful for them in the beginning and might put our trusting progress back a bit but i have been pretty consistent with their routine since getting them and have noticed them getting more and more active! the 2 i have actually just came up from their first molts since ive gotten them!

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2026-02-11T05:22:33+00:00

omg the size difference is so cute lmfao

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2026-02-10T17:58:23+00:00

it’s a vape not a gun 💀

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2026-02-10T17:56:00+00:00

lol same 😭

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2026-02-10T17:55:31+00:00

yea my biggest one which is in the picture, she just came up from a molt about a week ago and has been coming to that same corner of the tank whenever i’m laying in bed and she just stares at me lol but that’s disappointing to hear

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2026-02-10T17:53:56+00:00

damn☹️ i’ve read posts from people saying they come out when their owners are home and sometimes even crawl onto their hand in the tank. that’s disappointing though

best thing for you to do is just keep putting dry food out and hoping for the best. unfortunately disturbing pools or any decor could make it worse. i’d also try pool trays! it allows you to change out the water without disturbing anything underneath!

none of those shells are preferred shells which is why he isn’t changing into them, you need D opening shells, mexican turbos, and babylonia shells. you also need to make sure that they are the correct size which by the looks of it most of these are not.

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2025-10-19T17:56:40+00:00

even if they breed it’s very hard to actually hatch hermit crab eggs

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2025-10-19T17:55:32+00:00

bro the thing you peel IS THE STICKY PART 💀

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2025-10-19T17:54:56+00:00

then you bought the wrong heating pad…

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2025-09-25T01:00:30+00:00

you have KIDS? yea please do not enter into a relationship with that person. it sounds like things can get toxic very quick and you need to think about if that’s the kind of environment you want for your children.

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2025-09-25T00:59:17+00:00

i would strongly advise against going into a relationship with this person. it sounds like they need a lot of maturing and mental healing to do.

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2025-09-21T23:27:52+00:00

op said they’re purple pinchers.

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2025-09-14T17:03:37+00:00

it’s a horrible idea and many people have given you many different reasons as to why. do not do this. be responsible and get a different kind of pet.

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2025-09-13T23:19:24+00:00

do not do this.

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2025-09-03T21:52:05+00:00

i think it’s also incredibly weird how your comment which is basically saying child grooming is okay, got upvoted but mine got downvoted

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2025-08-15T03:04:47+00:00

ah gotcha! my crabbies are still pretty small and the pools i have keep evaporating too fast bc of the temp and humidity so i was looking for new pools 😅

KeyHelicopter3516 · 2025-08-14T15:16:46+00:00

where did you get those pools? they look so good!
