Thanks for the links! So far I've only looked at the Hermit Crab Cuisine site because I'm writing all the foods down in a notebook. Then I'll check your site. ...
... (M).... Sometimes a food needs to be offered a couple times before they munch on it. And some foods if left for about 24 hours also get more attention. But...
I wish I knew a way to get them to eat a bigger variety. How many times do you find yourselves offering a food before they finally start to eat it? Also,...
I love the food from KeeponKrabbin. It's good stuff:) Then it occurred to me that my crabs were eating better than I was:) LOL..so I bought a juicer so I...
Sorry to hear about your loss... Its so rough to lose a pet ... As I picked her up very slowly and turned her over she fell out of her shell dead. She was dead...
I gave my crabs some grapes (2 or 3) left on the empty stalk . I hung it from the second level. to my amusement they climbed up and down and they ate the stalk...
... (M)...? Carrots do not need to be boiled? In the wild they do not have foods cooked for them. That being said, it is strongly stated to steam any forms of...
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. RIP Rose ... As I picked her up very slowly and turned her over she fell out of her shell dead. She was dead for most of...
I gave mine half an ear of corn this summer, they loved eating it and climbing on it, so it was food and a toy in one. Holly and the 29 crabs On Thu, Nov 12,...
I didn't know the carrots had to be boiled.... i just wash them and slice them up, then put a big chunk in their dish. Our one crab, Herb, likes to sit on top...
There are many things they cannot eat and I would strongly recommend to not give them cat food or dog food. You also want to avoid any human grade salts and...
I keep reading that you need to keep their food different from day to day because they can get picky. So can they eat baby food or wet cat or dog food? What...
... Usually similar to humans, the larger the hermie the older it is. They are very special to have lived so long and it is so sad at such a `senior' age they...
Are they just older crabs that have gotten big, or are they a specific species? I saw one once at a pet store. He was VERY gregarious and friendly and even...
More great advice, thanks, Ladybug! Yes, I wasn't very impressed with the books (which are hardly more than pamphlets), and as I come across conflicting...
I LOVE white vinegar! I keep gallon jugs of it around. Craigslist is, unfortunately, useless in my neck of the woods unless you're willing to drive quite a...
... (M)...Majority of books are outdated as well as only have very basic info about caring for hermies while living in captivity if any at all. Some of the...
... IF I should be so lucky, how should I go about sterilizing it? ... Good ole fashioned white distilled vinegar and water. Wipe down inside (and out) with...
So, I'm new to hermies (I had one when I was a little kid, but as little kid's pets go...well I don't know what happened to him, I was only 5), but when I take...
So I've gone on Freecycle & stated that I'm looking for a tank. I'll also hit our local penny-ad paper. IF I should be so lucky, how should I go about...
Well I woke this morn to my Crab Rose laying on her back in her shell. She never does that. I knew something was wrong because one of her legs was kind of...
... When in doubt the best thing one can do is leave the hermie be. By bothering them it can only stress them even further. If they have passed there is...
well he wasn't burried to begin with, but I checked and he is not dead. I know I am seriously confused as well. Maybe he is in the process of dying? =( ...
If the smell is very strong and fishy....dig up your crab. In my experience the crab is dead. If so I am sorry. I hate losing my little guys. Miki, mother of...
ladybug, I've had Cuba for about 1.5 months, and he's been acting "strange" for about 3 weeks, and very lethargic for the past two weeks. He is only partially...
... House or crabitat on fire, if one can literally see one hermie eating another, substrate temperature entirely too hot, (ex: about 100+* F) definite...
