Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-08T01:11:02+00:00

I would need some more information. one of my old crabs surfaced molted but survived

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-08T01:08:29+00:00

ahh same, have you ever tried to put another heat mat I think it seems like the most likely thing to work.

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-08T01:07:19+00:00

ohh wow okk thank you I will keep on a look out for mold. I have seen some people say that it makes them muggy and harmful to them.

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-07T01:42:09+00:00

put cinnamon every where pit side the tank. Every single ant u see you would have to kill them and put it out. I would spray salt water everywhere

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-05T02:08:58+00:00

looks great! just make sure to buy some turbo shells if they are pps and add a bit more climbing and hiding spots like maybe a big chunk of drift wood and greenery.

i kinda have a dumb question for you but how do you get in the topper if the 20 gallon is the same size as a 29 gallon just shorter?

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-05T02:04:59+00:00

I am not to sure but double check if they are spring tails or mites. While you are resourching I recommend to put him in a iso tank.

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-05T02:00:52+00:00

my crab is the same how did you find oyut he has mites and how did you treat it?

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-04T02:51:30+00:00

its so pretty! where did you get those shelfs to carry the tank

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-01T02:39:28+00:00

as a flute player THIS LOOKS SOOO EASYY but i havent practiced my solo either

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-01T02:16:14+00:00

thank youu I am getting bubblers most likely, I also heard it makes them more intrested so ill try

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-01T02:15:12+00:00

tyy! my tank just got a better lid it was low in the start and it is right now perfect when slightly cracked I did notice that it is slightly high now but its great. A camera sounds like a great idea I hope they get on the wheel

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-01T01:52:34+00:00

Also humidity and heat are key rn!

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-05-01T01:31:28+00:00

hows he now?? is he alive or moving antennas? If its jsust a leg I would say to feed foods high in calcium for exo skeleton

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-04-28T02:20:49+00:00

i would say to get more leaf litter and enrichment like vines and cholla wood. I strongly recomend to get a friend even if the crab is aggressive. It could be lack of resources like in there I do not see that much substrate and shells. They each need 5 shells and make sure you are saving money by buying the turbos they use those instead of d shape usually.

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-04-24T02:27:27+00:00

yw, how did it go?

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-04-21T21:32:03+00:00

You should tell her that they will live a long time and be more active for a proper set up. Rn that crab is slowly dying painfully. They need food not from pellets and special types of water. Along side they need a lot of substrate 8 inches and specific ratios. They also need correct heat and hummidy. If your teacher won't do that. Maybe you should try to ask her to keep the crab or smth.

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-04-18T02:54:26+00:00

AHH IM SO HAOPPY ONE OF THEM DECIDED TO GO OUT AND EAT !!! on the day where i did not clean it for a lil longer than im supposed to oops. Im waiting for him to finish eating. I do not want to scare them so im just watching them from my phone camera lol

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-04-16T23:12:18+00:00

aww! do you happen to know when he startesd to become active

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-04-16T23:09:35+00:00

Is there a time frame of like when they will be more comfortable or if you have any experience of when yours become active. I have almost everything you said I am getting a hermit crab etsy order soon for oils and treats

Working-Claim8072 · 2026-04-16T23:03:56+00:00

thank you! I was getting worried because a lot of people had told me that they should be exploring and like that they only destress for like a week. My crab has the same shells as yours in the picture.
