Where is all of the water coming from?

2017-03-05
In: Crabitat, General
Tagged: bacteria, crabitat, ecoearth, false bottom, flood, hermit crabs, water

A couple years ago when we created our Facebook group to go along with our website I was shocked to find so many people with flooding issues and bacterial blooms in their crabitats. The response to this was a false bottoms.  In 14 years of crab keeping I’ve never encountered this, so it’s on my mind all the time…where is all the water coming from? I think I may be on the path to the root cause – overly wet substrate at the beginning. When you take sandcastle wet sand, add wet ecoearth, add bubbler pools and heat and it’s no wonder the humidity inRead More →

Pet Expo 2016 Wrap Up

2016-11-07
In: General
Tagged: hermit crab, pet expo

Overall the expo was a huge success! Both days brought a steady flow of people past our booth. We were located right next to the only concessions. Because of this I wanted to take advantage of people lingering so I set up a monitor with a playlist from Youtube on a loop.  I also hung the facts and myths on the back drape so people would be able to read them while waiting in line. The first day I encourage people to pick up our activity sheets and some did. The second day I handed them out and ended up giving away ALL of them!Read More →

Tagged: testimonial

Before finding this group I thought I knew a lot and was doing everything right. Boy was I wrong! They helped me create not only a home for my crabs that would keep them happy and healthy, but that is aesthetically pleasing. Something that is front and center in my home, not hidden away in a corner or closed off room. The many years of past research and ongoing research and willingness to change care guidelines based on new studies makes me confident that I will always be on top of their care and I will have them as part of the family into oldRead More →
