Max is doing fine. She is back to being a vibrant purple-y color and is as happy as can be. And as for the tank, I do not know anyone selling a tank. Sorry.

Well, I don’t know what its sex is. And I have only seen it up from underground only once since I got it. I have never fed my crabs a flower. And I have a little plastic hut that they like. But I’ve used bark and […]

I have 3. Max and Jaro are my ladies I got a year ago today. And I got my mystery crab, Tuomo a month ago.

Well she hasn’t gone under at all. And just upgraded the tank a few weeks ago. And since then, she hasn’t dug and has been active every day. And I noticed a little dent in her big claw that wasn’t there before. So […]

Well, I would be nervous about putting an acid in the tank. But I am still new to this.

Max is doing wonderful. She is eating well and being her normal, annoying self. She dug up little Tuomo earlier. And […]

I have no idea how to keep it clean other than wiping it. I do that every morning and after dinner.

This is Max today, with a quarter next to her for size reference. Jaro is a tiny bit bigger and Tuomo is a little smaller.

Update: Max has a love affair with raw ground beef. I have never seen any of my crabs grab food from the dish and drag it to her hiding spot. And I mean she RAN back.

I just checked on her, because she hasn’t moved out of her spot all day, and I noticed she is a lot hairier and the tips of her legs are very sharp. And she is darker. So I am guessing she molted? Can they just do […]

I am not aware of her molting when I’ve had her. However, she is a bit bigger since I first got her. So that would mean she must have molted last may-july. I left her in the care of my boyfriend’s cousin, since I […]

Today, Max has been going crazy. She has been pushing Jaro and dug up my newbie (I named it Tuomo) and it wasn’t happy about that with all the clicking it made. She enjoys sitting on top of a tiki decoration I […]

I’ve read that if you are mounting the heater on the side of the tank, that you get one for the next tank size up. My hermit crabs seem to like it better, and stay on that side of the tank. It keeps the […]

I put fresh eggshells in the tank as a calcium source. They seems to love it. Both of my “older” crabs have been hanging out in the fresh and salt water bowls since I upgraded. I also got an under tank heater that […]

That pic is from august this year. Below is a picture from today. I had a 5 gallon plastic tank. I just managed to upgrade now to a class tank. I believe one of my crabs, Jaro, had molted over the summer. I had […]
