Guys, im looking for some shells...
do you know where i can buy some?

Where's your location?


Just incase some of you can't get beach sand, you may use crushed corals as well. Ask for the smallest grade, if not mistaken is 3. hermits love to burrow inside it. Reusable and cheap compared to beach sand.

For calcium can use cuttle bone. Pets shops selling birds might have them. Or you may be lucky to find some on the beach as well.

Forgot so many terms.. Haha, long time never keep crabs already.

bee002: The small one you have behind the straws is an Ecuadorian or a Rugg?

coner32, where you keeping the hermits? the place is looks kind of cool, cause the shape of it...

swt...I never keep crab before... those pics come from pets shop...
its inside a black tank... something like a tank that store waters...

i not really know how to different the name, but i think i got 3 species 2 are more purple, 1 in more grey black , then 3 arestrawberry

i thought you got keep before. if you haven't keep before, why don't you start keeping by now?

I wanted too...but look like have to prepare many things before keeping crabs...somemore if i only keep 1 or 2 crabs, it don't look nice... but if i keep more that means i have to spend quite a amount of $$

Haha, hermit crabs doesn't require too many items. But last time did bought heater, drift wood, lighting, terra vines that sum up to more than 300 for setup. End up need to study somewhere else, terpaksa send all for adoption. zzz.

Hermit crabs don't really do well alone, they are socialize creatures, keep 2 - 3 will be good. But maintenance is cheap and easy.

Bee002: Can't see your crabs clearly, but someone mentioned so just asking lo.

im in pj...

1 utama might have. The only petshop at the car park region.
Pets Mart 88 might have also, but last time saw all old stocks.
I'm not sure now, but last time Selayang Mall and Mutiara Complex carries alot. Especially Mutiara Complex, they have a cachement containing sacks of shells of different kinds.

Yes, 1Utama petshop still sell shells. 3 tupperware worth of shells. From small to jumbo.

Currently i have only 1 hermit crab and it will be going to be another 2 more months until i expand the tank to fit in the strawberries. Gone through 2 session of molt and eats alot too..

why just me posting the photo, why not you all also post few photo to share

ERm, I don't have any recent photos to share, mine are all given away. Here's some photos of mine two years ago de..

Linked to first thread
First habitat and some ruggs

Upgraded habitat with 3 ft aquarium

Hermit crab's eggs

In Seapark, irene aquarium i saw hermit crabs for sale..

And i went to Central point Bandar Utama, a Fish shop there forgot what name..i think they sell hermit shells there....

saw couple of hermit shells but label duno what name..i assume is shells

empty-reg, u have a nice setup there though. why you don't want to continue on keeping hermit?

Thanks zoejehuty. I can't, cause I'm stuck at hostel in Johor. The setup was taken apart already, aquarium, humidifier and lighting given to people to rear fishes.

Still got some shells, some crushed corals, and other decor.. Keeping is relatively easy, my siblings can help me feed them, but the person that occupies my room can't tolerate the sound of them knocking their shells against the glass during the night.

You guys can make one something similar too if you all have the time. Is quite easy and cheap if you have an aquarium set along with small filter and lighting. Just need to buy some artificial plants.

oh, so that's your reason why don't want to keep hermit crab.
what is the use for humidifier? lighting just depends whether need or not, based on where is the tank located right?
