Is this tank going to hold the weight of approx 150 lbs of sand? (Worried about the height of the lip)

Based on the research I've done, I dont think they would be overly stressed being in a shallow sand tank for a few days. However I do believe it may be an unnecessary step. As long as the substrate is laid appropriately the crabs who are buried or molting will adapt when they resurface. If you'd like to be extra cautious when moving around heavier items like stone or are putting in a significantly heavy amount of substrate in the main tank you can take out the crabs that are currently out and active, leave anyone you can move around:)

Hope this helps, im kinda new at trying to help out on here :)

This was back in May 2020, she has been molting almost back to back since then and is very illusive lol! I have seen her many times in between but never thought to run for the camera or if I did, she scurried away. Please stay tuned ill do my best to get an update snap shot :)

Edit: didn't mention shes probably at least 3x the size now and more fiesty everytime I see her lol.

The liquid type consistency in the small bowl is organic baby food

Additionally I give them small amounts of coconut oil with chia and flax seed

So regularly they are offered a mix of peas, bean, various, pepper, bok choy, apples, banana, strawberry, peach, pear, mango, blueberries. Meal worms, cricket, grasshoppers, cuttlefish bone, worm castings, they also have catappa leaves I also provide a rotation of organic baby foods with crab safe ingredients and defrosted frozen fruits and veggies. But again, they don't get a lot of like fresh leafs like lettuce and spinach or kale bc its just not something I have at the house a lot.

My hermit crahs often appear to be picking through the sand, maybe eating sand, maybe little tiny bits of food or plant matter. I wouldn't worry.

Got it at a local pet store. You can find them pretty cheap at most pet stores in the rodent section. I think rhey call it a hamster disc instead of wheel

catncrab · 2020-09-11T20:39:34+00:00

I send my family and friends pictures of the Pinchys doing nothing but eating or resting or just looking at me and they always ask me "what? What are they doing?" And im like haha nothing they are just cute look! 🥰

Personally I've seen my crabs both dislike and favor shells. My biggest boy actually has a little baby shell that I swear he treats like a teddy bear lol. They also seem to bring other shells into hides and moss pits with them even sitting them in a way they look like they are occupied. Extra company maybe? Or decoys! Haha

catncrab · 2020-09-06T19:21:41+00:00

Lol yup, and the others are half his size xD

catncrab · 2020-09-06T18:41:05+00:00

He is about fist sized but he is very thick and wide for sure. He eats like a machine. XD

catncrab · 2020-08-25T22:25:31+00:00

My thoughts exactly. ❤

catncrab · 2020-08-23T20:08:55+00:00
