My sister and I have had hermit crabs for over 5 years. When we first started, they were in critter keepers with improper food, water, and substrate. Slowly, with the help of csj and other sites, we learned that our set up was wrong and made improvements. Although it took a long time, we did what we could for our crabs. Joining the LHCOS Facebook group helped me learn a lot more. We were able to improve our tank even more. While it still isn’t perfect, we are continuing to improve it. Although I am not able to be near my crabs at college (😢), this page and group have allowed me to help others, see others’ crabs, and hear stories (these little guys can be funny). I am part of a community that is fun and educational. I have talked to new people and learned more about hermit crabs than I did in my first few years of owning them. Thank you CSJ for 15 years of service to hermit crabs and their people!
