HOW MANY CRABS DO YOU HAVE,WHAT SIZES ARE THEY & HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THEM?-(I always say name something they are the size of like a grape, ping-pong ball, etc.)I have 2 crabs, they are about 3/4 in crabs and I have had them since April 13th. (about a ping pong ball in total size with shell included... one is still in carry kit from store we bought them at as he is under and has not surfaced in 4+weeks. So she is lonely right now!
WHAT SPECIES OF CRABS DO YOU HAVE-(Self-explanatory) PP
TANK # AND SIZE(S))- (ie: I have 2 tanks, 75 gallon & 55 gallon) I have one tank that is 10 gallon size...
LID TYPE-(ie: Glass, aquarium hood, etc) Mesh top, with towels on the top to help with humidity and heat.
SUBSTRATE USED-(ie: I use playsand and Eco Earth in an approx 5:1 ratio) play sand with cocofiber mixed... appx 5/2 ratio
SUBSTRATE DEPTH- 6 inches
HUMIDITY SOURCE-(ie: Do you use a humidifier, mist daily, etc) moist substrate with daily misting
HEAT SOURCE-(ie: Under tank heater, heat bulb) Where are they located? top of lid reptile lamp
WHAT IS YOUR TEMP/HUMIDITY ON AVERAGE?-(Please give averages for both day & night) temp ranges btwn 75-80 and humidity ranges from 75ish during the day and 95ish at night with top completely covered and heat lamp off.
HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR WATER?-(ie: Tap water conditioner, name brand) no, filtered
HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR SALT WATER?-(ie: Do you use Oceanic or Instant Ocean-name the brand) salt crystal mixed with filtered water, salt bought from pet store made for hermit crabs
WHAT DO YOU FEED YOUR CRABS?-(If you feed other than fresh food, what is it called & where do you get it?) variety fresh food, some processed food from the pet store
WHAT TYPES OF HIDES/CLIMBS DO YOU HAVE?-(ie: coco-hut, cholla wood, etc) have a hut, and one log not sure what kind of wood now. but made for reptile/hermit crab, two water dishes, two tropical plants as well.. getting climbing toys this weekend
DO YOU HAVE AN ISOLATION TANK?- not a big one
HOW MANY EXTRA SHELLS AND WHAT SIZES DO YOU HAVE?-(Self-explanatory) Just purchased and should arrive tomorrow.. variety from 1/2 to 1 1/2 inc
DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM & ANY OTHER INFO YOU THINK APPLIES- I picked up Alexa this morning to move her while I changed her water (she was really close to the bowl and didnt want to hit her by accident) She had the clear gel substance coming out from her shell, i turned her over and it was oozing from inside her shell. I immediately put her down close to her log (which is her favorite day time sitting place) and she did dig a little hole like normal enough to cover her bottom but her shell is still above ground. Not sure if that is normal or what is happening to her?
